Ken:
I really hate to be the one to 'pop-your-bubble', but the top machine, is not factory. Nor does it appear to be an
operator invention. To me, it looks like it was slapped together by some 'Happy-Henry', with some scrap parts he
had laying around in the garage.
The so-called "Wonder-Fall" machine, is a complete Home-Made Fake. The only thing that looks to be original, is the
wood frame front, that is most likely from a British Wall Machine, or the like. The chrome-framed marquee does not
mate well, and the lettering is all decals, or dry transfers. The backboard appears to have all countersunk chrome
auto upholstery washers, mounted with Phillips-head screws. What the rationale is behind the stacked, and shingled
coins, is beyond me. What do they do? What are the holes for? Is there some sort of payout? The lower door appears
to be Formica. Is it a drawer, with dividers inside? No instructions. That "Amusement Only" card, is a generic card, that
was used in many machines. Mainly Pinball. I have repro's of the same card. Maybe after you play it for awhile, you can
tell us what it really does. I would like to see some closer detailed pics, to feed my curiosity.
