Nice machine on ebay right now.
I would have thought that it was GERMAN but it's made in the U.S.A.

Looks like B&Q meets Beromat, crossed with Meccano... shame really.

Yes it is, really strange.
Have you ever heard of this manufacturer?

I’ve seen one of these before, or perhaps it was this actual machine. I certainly recognise the rather attractive cast pediment, and I also recognise the ‘plumbing’ on the mech. The mech. seems fairly straightforward, although from what I can see, the machine doesn’t appear to award a free go – just coin return. I am rather intrigued by the enormous ball tube – either it is very thick-walled tube, or the poor little clown figure is expected to catch something the size of a golf ball! All in all, rather a nice machine and one I’d quite like myself……………….£2000? probably not for me.
