More modern toy versions of the real thing - based on a rotary merchandiser and a crane.

Stunning work, I came across one of these when I visited San Francisco at the Musee Mechanique Museum on Pier 45.
If you ever get the chance to visit this stunning city you have to make a trip to this museum, it is free and a lot of fun. Amazing array of slots, working models etc. I know PennyMachines posted a few links to Youtube Videos of the stuff on display. They appear to have updated their website and have included a lot of stills of the machines now:

Williams Crane Game, 1950s
This one's for Kevin
As you can see it looks almost the same as the Chicago Coin Steam Shovel
