I see that the silkscreened award bib doesn't jibe with the "totally original" tall tale posted by the seller... are there other tip-offs that this isn't legit?

Wood base is a replacement, jackpot is not a 50 cent jackpot, hand load jackpot with reserve???? baseplate where the coin come out of the payout tube has been enlarged to allow 50 cent coins, lower castings is not a 50 cent casting. Payout slides look way to short , coin deflector missing on the top of the payout tube. A lot of things that are not right for an all ORIGINAL MACHINE.

Must have taken it down. Couldn't find it.

Sold at $4550. Sad.

Somebody not going to be happy. Or maybe they just don't know better. ALL ORIGINAL

Machine sold for some $4500 + wow ! Someone is going to be very disappointed . So much for this sellers credibility . He claims to be the son of one of the 70's biggest music promotores . The one that comes to mind is Bill Graham .
I was watching that fiddy cent GF and considered bidding before it hit that unusually high 4k mark . Glad I backed off from this seller as something just does not feel right about his claims and his descriptions .

Sellers name is Jeff O'day he also owns

He is a mortgage broker in Boethel Washington northwest pacific funding or something like that. He makes reel strips and award cards too pretty nice stuff. I bought a machine from him off fleabay and it was ugly but is now one of my best machines. The ad I bought from had a typo in it and he did refund me a reasonable amount for it.

I'm not defending him just telling you all what I know first hand. Just because he tells a story about a machine does not make him a dubious charactor. He could be a dolt that had more money than brains and bought a lot of slot machines and could be repeating what he was told.

just my 2 cents worth. Someone maybe excited to get that machine at least buyer not reading this thread lol.

Hi. Dave posted (on YouTube) a near mint fish mouth 50-cent Golden Falls that was originally for sale many moons ago. It would have been a great example to illustrate the numerous differences between the current machine vs. an original!

Here he is
