Was the 1934 ROCK-O-LA HOLD DRAW trade stimulator ever made to play on any other denomination other than a penny?

Interesting;
I have an untouched original Hold and Draw, except someone (I assume an operator) long ago changed the award card from 1 cent to 5 cent play.
It plays fine on all coins; 1, 5, 10, and 25 cent.

EDIT: My machine also accepts and works with 50 cent coin.

In addition to the above, all "Hold and Draw" machines that I have owned, or worked on for other collectors, will take up to a half dollar.
I am not referring to any models that Rockola may have made for the British market, set up to take the large English penny. In other words,
if the coin slot is this size on all their machines, they would not have had to make changes for any foreign coin. All readers of this forum
that have one of these machines, check your coin slot, and let us know if yours is anything other than the aforementioned. Thank you.

BILL,
In reading your above reply, an interesting question came to mind.
we all know than american slots went to england in mass quantities( as well as other countries), and, several early cast iron trade stimulators, but, in the late thirties and forties trade stimulators, did they too go over in the large quantities that we saw go over in slots?
i know a lot of 78 rpm jukeboxes, and, upright slot machines went to south america.

Hi Everyone,
I had to get the hold and draw curved glass made for my machine, is there anyone who needs a piece of the curved glass to help me offset the cost of production. i only had 5 made so please email me or call me if you are interested. Thank you - Keyland Antiquemachines@hotmail.com (310)832-8336
