Ebay listing 111073482952. Wondering if anyone can comment on this machine being an original and correct US machine. The seller would not confirm that it takes 50cents. I am concerned that about the coinage, and the escalator looks different than what I have seen in my limited experience - shouldn't there be two sets of teeth pushing the coins along...
thanks!

Only the upper set of teeth move the coins along. The bottom set does not move.

It appears that it does not have a 50 cent jackpot. Check to see if it has a serial number.

I see both sets of notches on the escalator (advance bars) and the ware marks on the escalator also look right for 50 cent coins. I don't see the larger folded jackpot door for fifty cent coins in the jackpot window. The castings should be wider then a small coin machine, and also the whole jackpot assembly is deeper for 50 cent coins then a small coin jackpot is. but this takes a tape and some measurements to determine if it's right or not. You can tell the difference if you seen both jackpots at one time, it is really noticeable.
