You get a lot of machines in Australia with showman’s or folk art paint. I like them and occasionally they turn up here in the U.K. , sadly purist collectors strip them back to dull wood losing the history.

Unusual flicker and pay cup on that machine, almost like it vends something other than coins

Really great paint, and very unusual castings. I keep thinking of upside down cathedral radios when I look at that payout. :o

Nice.
Is it a J80? I hope you have the knobs!

Love the paintwork on that Allwin, would be sacrilege to strip it down and violate the great looks of this old machine

A star wheel holds the penny in place then lets it drop into the coin box or into the payout chute, depending.
