Silver King 25c Gambling Bead Machine

Here is a very nice machine from my personal collection. It is the 25c version of the Silver King machine that was used as a gambling device. Works on a quarter and dispenses a small plastic bead with a bit of paper inside. Some of these were slot machine symbols or lucky numbers. This machine comes with approximaelty 500 of the poker hand variety. Also includes a copy of the original payout chart, which would look nice framed up next to the machine. Payoffs were made by the clerk or bartender behind the counter. Speculation is that the frosted globe was used to disguise the actual purpose of the machine. Has the original paint which is in very nice condition. This machine was totally dismantled, cleaned and reassembled. Includes new gaskets and a few small pieces of hardware, otherwide everything else is original, including lock and key. Approximately 14" tall, 7" wide and 7" deep.
