If anyone's interested, I posted on eBay a new 2-volume set of Bueschel's JENNINGS SLOT MACHINES 1906-1990 hardback edition.

Hi Rick,

Does the book have a color picture of a 1932 jennings silent bell peacock machine? I want to restore my machine with all the original colors. If so can you take a picture of this machine and post it here for me? I really would appreciate it if you could if not then that's OK. Been looking hard online for a picture of my machine. I've seen a couple of them and I don't know if the colors were original. One went for $7000 in 2012 on a Las Vegas auction house. I wonder what mine would fetch once I get it restored to the way it was originally.

HERE IS A POST FROM A FEW DAYS AGO THAT HAS A PEACOCK PICTURED, AND THE COLORS ARE CORRECT, AND THIS PARTICULAR ONE IS AN EXCEPTIONALLY CLEAN ORIGINAL.

IF YOU CLICK ON THE PICTURE, IT WILL ENLARGE, AND, SHOW IT IN THE CORRECT POSITION.
HOPE THIS HELPS.

Hi,

That was my post and thank you for your nice comment on the peacock. . I just wanted to compare the two. I believe mine was restored a bit years ago. (Case, a few new springs ) Also i saw one that looks exactly like mine online except for a couple of colors that were slightly different.

Denny

you're welcome

Let me look and see what's in the books. It will be a few days before I can post back again.
We're entertaining out-of-town guest.

Denny:
There are two variations of the "Peacock". The escalator model, with the gooseneck on the left, and the drop-coin
view window style, with the gooseneck on the right. The lower castings on both models have the same color scheme,
but the upper castings have different designs & colors. That may have been what you seen with different colors.

Here is an ad from the June 1932 issue of Automatic Age magazine.
Thought you might get true colors from this rather than a scan from my scanner of the Jennings Slot Machine book.

It's beautiful! Thank you for posting.
