Hi , With Christmas on the way our thoughts turn to presents and toys for the kids or grandkids ... Well you can keep your X-Box's, computer games and the like ..... This is what I call a present...



THE REMCO PENNY MACHINE....
From Coney Island Toys..... circa 1958... I want one, and I want it NOW!..

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:
