Hi all

I ran across this slot locally. Wife wasn't sure if her husband wanted to sell, but I think they are downsizing and could get it. She asked what it was worth and I said I would have to do some research. I can't find much info.
It's a Jennings 5 cent vendor. It cycles, the back was off. There were some loose cast pieces , probably the rear bonnet.
Assuming it's complete, what do you think it's worth?

Man that's a gorgeous 1930's machine looks to be original unmolested condition too! If it was local to me and all there I would drop 10 C notes on it if that's what they were asking. Wholesale probably $850 because it will need cleaning and lubing and possibly a lock or two.

Good luck if you buy it for $500 and want to flip it let me know lol!! I love the old survivor vendors!

If it runs well and has no cracks or damage, market value would be $1500 - $2,000. Don't restore this beauty.

If it's complete, it's worth a lot more than that. Peacock's usually go for $2K or more. I'd say at least $1750 like that.

Thanks for everyone's input. I'd told myself I had enough slots, but I'll try to grab this one.

Looks genuine to me as well. If you get it, just get it working. Do not strip or redo the castings. It is a Peacock and there are not many, most of all, in original condition. Grab it and keep it. If I could, I would do that and make it part of my kids inheritance. I would never part with it. Love the original untouched pieces of art.

I wouldn't touch anything on this, other than making sure it cycles and pays as it should. She thought her grandkids had jammed it, but I put one nickel through and it sounded good.
I thought it was interesting the payouts were cast into the front. I hadn't seen that before.

Any updates on that beauty??

The people were having a moving sale. The slot wasn't out, but I always ask about slots or gumballs.
She said she had to ask her husband and he would have to check with his sisters.
I called and left a message and never heard back.
Would still love to get it. The back locks were drilled and I assume no key for the front vendor. Also one of the pieces of glass was broken on the vendor. I told her 1200 before, might up the offer to 14 or 1500.
It is a pretty machine.

Thanks for the update....I'd be all over that.....worst they can say is no.
