Title: 3 JACKS - PENNY FLIP
Post by: GOS on September 02, 2016, 11:56:41 AM
Picked up this 3 JACKS penny flip (Trade stimulator or whatever your want to classify it).  This is a reproduction machine - I am not familiar with these type machines - especially how the coin is flipped into the maze of pins.  Looks like a part maybe missing?   Also the placement of the pins on the play field seem to make it impossible for coins to enter the WIN slot.  Can anyone provide any insight?  thank you

Do a Google search (3 Jacks Slot Machine) and you'll find a video demonstrating how the machine works.  Put a penny in and smack the side of the penny with your finger sending it up the rail and into the machine.  The pin (nail) positions looks OK.  Let me know if you want to sell it. One of the originals was by the famous Fey brothers around 1910.

Way out of my range, ten or so years ago you could get a reproduction for a couple hundred.  I think I saw a manual out there on the enet, check it out if your still in doubt about the machine being complete.  Royal Bell Slots in Denver use to sell the repro's, they may be able to help you.
