I did end up buying the roulette machine and listed it on eBay. I received an interesting message from another eBay user with some insight about the history of the machine and I thought that I would share it with everyone. Here is the message that I received:

Hi,
Your machine as a very interesting history, it was designed by Doc Kaufman who worked for Bally, the original one (Not your one) had a Klopp hopper out of a coin counter, this was the first machine to ever use an hopper, that went on to be used in the first Bally slot machines, my late partner Mickey Wichinsky gave Kaufman the idea to use an hopper and the rest is history, interesting that you say 50 of these were stored in a warehouse, it is my understanding that Bally financed this project but scrapped the idea and these machines were "Buried" forever, great idea at the time.
