The gameplay is so unusual, and yet so simple. I'd be delighted to own something so different.
Add to that, the only Shefras product I've ever owned was an escalator, and I even swapped that for a Mills.
The blue door would be veneered. I would find that approach more satisfying, but, again, that's only my preference.

An escalator..?? I think you are absolutely right about person preference. My other wall machines already have lovely wooden doors so a little colour helps to add appeal and brightens up the collection. I'm not a big fan of Formica or veneers unless they are original and in extremely good condition. I like to see the earliest forms of slot machines but they are so dull in appearance.
Here's a picture of my favourite veneer covered machine.
I hope you appreciate this one Brigham.

THAT'S how I like them.
Ex. Parker's Automatics of Rhyl, at a guess.
Splendid.

I think Parkers made the most attractive cases of all Allwins

You sometimes see detailed veneering like that on Gunther Wulff conversions. I wonder if Parker's did any of those?

I can't say I know of any. Can you post any photos please?
We have a special thread running for GW conversions.

I believe you're thinking of the factory-original Gunter Wulff wall machines (not the conversions), which had quite elaborate veneers. The British companies which specialized in converting and re-vamping them often replaced the wood veneer with plastic laminates.
