I'd leave it... It's a JPO machine.. Where do the quarters go, into the over flow in the slot stand, and the hoppers hand filled with dollars?

Jack pot only. I've seen them mostly in the early 700, 800, & 900 Ballys. Smallest payouts are 10-20 coins, then maybe a 100 & 200 coins. In your case it looks to pay in dollars not coins. JPO machines have only 3 or 4 different symbols on the strips. Unlike a fruit that pays many jackpots and as few as 2 coins. The JPO pays less often but in bigger amounts like hitting a jackpot..

Origional is always the best way to go in my opinion
