Steeplechase Penny Operated Marble Game

I am needing help with 2 questions/information as it refers to these games.
First, does anyone know of anyone that restores these types of machines in the US?
Does anyone know the history of these games and if there were every any paperwork that came with them or advertising?
Thank you and I appreciate any help.

Steeplechase was one of the most popular games of the early 1930s; it was made by Keeney, Exhibit Supply and others. There were a couple variations by simply changing the graphics, such as your Greyhound.
For advertising, search the trade publications about 1932 or so.

For restoration, where are you? There may be a member here close to you who can help.
Not that difficult and you might be capable yourself; the cabinet is wood work, the mechanism is simple if you're at all mechanically inclined, but the graphics may be the hardest part.
If you own the machines in your photos, they look good as is.

I live in Central Kentucky, Winchester to be exact. Yes i do own all 4 machines. I got obsessed with having one after watching a video of one on Mantiques. I actually contacted them about me sending one to them to be restored but they said they could not take any new restorations. I was able to get one at auction and after me and my buddies played it for hours betting on it like like it was real horses I was hooked. Every time I have seen one come up at auction somewhere I have tried to win it. I have 4 now and would like to have them restored like new. I think they look great the way they are also but there is a couple of issues with each of them. I could try to do the restoration myself but time is my issue and I also seem to never get anything completed. lol. Thank you for all the information, I truly appreciate it.
