Antique The Climax Reserve Ball Allwin Arcade Coin Operated Penny Machine
An early 20th century penny operated arcade machine.
Named - The Climax (reserve ball)
Housed within the original charming wooden case with glazed front.
With key and working lock - Plus a nice key tassel as pictured.
Ideal for anyone wanting to create that quirky interior design feel to their home or games room space.
49cm X 18.5cm
Height 64.5cm
Condition - Good.
The machine is in working order but could do with a little bit of attention as detailed below:
The hammer cover is lacking a small piece of metal that stops the ball from dropping out - At the moment it has bene patched up with a piece of tin to stop the ball from dropping but could do with a better fix or replacement part. It means that when using the hammer, you have to be quite slow with it and not fully "whack' it back and fourth.
The balls play really well around the machine.
I have no tokens to test the token payout with so unsure about this but it all appears to be there.
The green back cloth is the original and is in ok order with typical age related wear.
The reserve ball mechanism works ok - Occasionally the ball won't drop so require a little tap.
Glass is the original.
I would not recommend this machine as a first one - More suitable for someone who has experience with the workings and ability to adjust.
