Could someone tell me what this is and ballpark value if in working condition?

Looks like it could be a revamp or conversion machine. Possibly Jennings top casting and Pace lower casting. Also, the lower casting appears to have a hole on the left side. The base of the cabinet also appears to have a chunk missing on the far left. Value is heavily dependent on denomination, condition, original lock, key, door, cashbox, etc.. Need more information and clearer pictures to determine damage and approximate value. If there is a hole in the casting and that piece is missing, that will have a major impact on value.

If the machine is complete and working from $700 to 900 dollars.

Coin view window ring? Hmmm?

Looks like a Fey conversion to me. That bulls eye coin viewing window was his signature. Didn't matter if it was an aluminum or cast iron machine, he would drill it and put in that round viewing window. Numerous examples of these have survived. Did anyone else use that round window, not sure but I've never seen it. The circle in the upper left corner of the bottom casting is the logo of the manufacturer, what does it say?

Pace made a JP front that was almost identical, but George's insight is always reliable.
Below is a photo of a Fey revamp; interestingly with a rectangular coin viewing window.
The hole left of the jackpots on your machine is for a missing access door (to unlatch the back door.).

Just tell us what's in the logo in the upper left corner of lower casting to confirm that it is indeed a Fey.
(a better photo would have helped).

I think he used a rectangular frame on that machine because there was already a rectangular viewing window in the top casting?

Does anyone have an extra viewing window trim piece?

Unfortunately this isn't my machine. I was looking to buy but I can't get a response. Grrrr
