Domino / Juge do Paix / Roll out the Barrel

Post by richard_goddard »

Hi all
I have a Domino which looks like it was converted (by Brenner, probably) into a Roll out the Barrel, but retains the arm linkage positions, the early bottle timer (not the clock which was added in the late twenties) and lacks the Brenner artwork (if you can call it that!). So as everything else is intact I'm reconverting it back into a Domino/Juge de Paix. The bartender artwork will need to be hand painted, but before I get this done, I know there were some repro art cards made a few years back - does anyone know where they finished up? It may be a better bet than having my artist friend paint new versions!

Cheers

Greetings, I am new to this forum but not to coin op machines. I've been at this for decades. I am located in the USA. I have this Domino machine for many years and want to complete it or move it down the road. It is missing the coin entry as shown, if the pictures are there. I found only one picture of this type at rickcrandall.net with the coin entry on the side. The coin cup has the number 1069. The mechanism seems complete otherwise. Can you advise if parts are to be found or pictures and dimensions to fabricate the parts required? The machine is quite nice with original finish on the case. OR, knowledgeable folks tell me how bad is it? Thanks for your time and help.

Greetings Jack and sorry to say I doubt we can help with that.
I've only seen one example with the coin acceptor on the side and it's shown in this thread. I thought I'd seen a larger image of it in one of the slot books, but can't find it, so perhaps I was mistaken. You could opt to blank off the side and recreate a more conventional front slot, but don't know how you (or I) would feel about making permanent changes to an original machine.

Hi slackjack ........

Welcome to our forum, drag up a rusty Mills and have a seat, the biscuit tin is by your left ..... if you want to fill it up. :-(

Nice looking machine you're showing there. By enlarging your photo, turning it into a negative and dipping it in Soya Sauce I can't make out any evidence that it ever had a coin slot in any other place.

I used to have a Domino conversion that had been placed in a metal case (presumably for an outside placement or maybe Beirut) and that had a side slot.
So, recognising that I can be easily pleased and prepared to tolerate the imperfect (as any of my ex wives will confirm :o ) I personally would be more than happy to leave it as is.

Thank you for the responses, though it isn't what I wanted to hear. Nothing new there. I did not photograph the inside of the case to show I seem to be missing coin slides inside the top to convey the coin to the mechanism below. I wonder who owns the machine shown with the side entry ? Perhaps it's Rich Crandell's machine. I will try contacting him. It's too early to put this out for the binman just yet. Thanks again for the bad news...........Jack

I hope someone with one of these machines will offer pictures of the inside upper coin tubes that route the coin to the mechanism below. I may have to convert this piece to front coin slot. There is a coin return on the side so I think the hole in the upper right corner of the door is for a coin return button push ? Thank you for any and all help/advice. Jack

Colour photocopying was not as good then as it is today and they lack the fine detail of the originals.
Here is the original unused '80s photocopy. !!THUMBSX2!!

Treble Chance identified

Hi
Does anyone recognize this machine ? The wooden case has an art deco look to it and the reels are just 1,2 and X. I'm wondering if it's just a generic machine or a recognized maker.

Edit to add - Gameswat got there first.

Your machine is/was a Treble Chance, as shown in the bottom right of the composite image:

This is a conversion of the Jentzsch & Meerz Domino game.

You can see holes in the mech board where the animated arms of the figures were mounted.

I'm not sure who did these conversions. Brenner perhaps. :!?!:
