Golden Falls, real or reproduction?

Postby loveoldslots » Sat Oct 17, 2015 12:28 pm

See picture below. I am looking at a Golden Falls machine, but it has the ball type handle and not the lever/sword type. All the mills machines of Golden falls and those years DO NOT have the ball type. The machine looks pristine on the outside. But, if this were a reproduction, I cant see why it would be the ball type handle as they were made to look old which meant the sword/lever...Which supports that this machine may have been used in a casino. The is a sign in the slug window stating to noify addendant for jackpots. Are there any other EASILY identifiable clues to be able to tell the reproduction from the real Golden Falls? A serial number? something where it can be easily determined maybe by just opening the back and seen without taking it apart?

Wood cabinet appears to be a replacement and it does appear to have a false jackpot in it since it says that jackpot will be hand paid. Without seeing the insides I would say it is most likely a reproduction of some kind.

Might be a Black Cherry with repro columns or a Royal Bell with the fake JP and an escalator that is a dummy.
