None of these particular revamp models had an award card area on the front casting, with the
exception of one Rock-Ola style, which had two small award cards on either side of the jackpot.
There was also one other revamp, that had a cast-in award on the two top corners of the front.
I have also never seen an award card & frame mounted on the top of any of these revamps.
I am not yet sure as to who did the revamp shown in this thread, but from some of the details,
it sort of rings-out a little bit of Rock-Ola Mfg. & Roberts Novelty, but both of them usually had
their name on the casting. Someone also had copied one of the common Rock-Ola designs in
every detail, except the area where the name is shown, was left blank. If a secondary revamper
had done this, it is a mystery to me.
All of these gooseneck revamps have been boggling my mind for so long now, that in the past
couple of years, I have been focusing more, on all the different fronts, that are found, mainly
on the Mills & Jennings "Operator Bell" style machines. Some revampers have also made changes
in some of the upper castings. Not just the very-top, but the coin-view area as well.
I have compiled a pretty good size photo file of both manufacturers to date. Hopefully some day,
more of this mystery will be solved. If anyone has an odd-ball model, that they would care to share
a photo of, and also any indication of a revampers decal on the case, or a sticker inside, I would
much appreciate your sending any info to: (
slotdynasty@sbcglobal.net). "And the beat goes on".
Thank you, Bill
