✨ Condition Note (Please Read)
Cosmetic Status: The machine shows typical signs of historical use. The red painted metal finish is bright with minor paint chips and surface scuffs around the coin slot. The bottom of the aluminum coin base shows typical oxidization and light grease from age.
Globe Defect: Please inspect the detailed photos carefully—THE GLOBE HAS VISIBLE NORMAL STRESS MARKS IN THE LOWER CORNERS WHERE IT MOUNTS TO THE RED BASE. The globe remains structurally together, but the stress marks are visible.
Operational Status: This unit is being sold untested / as-is. The coin mechanism dial rotates smoothly by hand, but it has not been tested with actual quarters to verify coin rejection or a complete internal dispense cycle.
