Original paint, hardware, ticket dispenser, payout, etc. Gorgeous vintage horse racing theme, where you pick the horse before you coin the game and then it is off to the races. (Hidden payout coin door) Fantastic vintage horse racing themed game!

Beautifully restored. This is the larger theater model version. Operators would place these in high traffic locations. Operates only nickels and dimes. Truly the ultimate theater vending machine with illuminating lighting features. Very few exist in this condition.
