Normaly is a small numbered disc (2 ,4,8,12,16,20), driven by some gears from payout unit, behind the window.
It shows the value of last profit.
In 99% the parts a missing. I knew only 2 machines that still have this item.

Think I have a version of this in a rather plain case but with a complete mech. Skills, vender, future play.

That is a late Jentzsch & Meerz Giganta! Rare!
Here some information:

The mechanism is similar to J&M Omega type machine but with sidepull. Notice the little reel on left machine.

Oh! Jentzsch & Meerz, I was thinking that it was Schwarz as it's got a badge featuring an acorn and leaves, like on the Schwarz top casting.

Hi Dave!
The acorn and leaves sign appeared roundabout 1932 and was used by some German manufactors

J&M:
Brass plate or cast in frontplate or casted plate to fix with screws



Tura:
Casted in top
First only acorn and leaves, then with word "Deutsch" last version with "Rein Deutsch"



Dewag Automatenbau
Waterslide Decal in red, white or gold, or printed in black on white paper inlay

Thanks, very informative.

Hi Dave!
I have organized me a conversion Giganta, nice case but the machine is completely destroyed.



I'm sure that I have the missing parts somewhere in stock but I have no idea how they look....
Specially the assembly for the coin insert mechanism to the driver disc on the main frame is wanted.





Could you make a picture from your machine?

Hi, will do, but I am on holiday at the moment, waiting for the weather to improve in the UK, so could be some time.

Thanks

No problem, I could wait. Wish you a nice holiday and fine weather!

See you in 2024 Dave

Finally dug out the J&M Giganta. Got to say that it's well engineered and different from the usual mechanisms.

That's brilliant!
Will it run on just House Coal or does it have to be Welsh Steam?

Many thanks for the pictures!!!

I should start digging for parts

let me know if you need more pics
impressive mech, forgot to mention the features, skillstops, venders,gold award, future pay and a handle to operate mech outside of case

Think that's likely a Bussoz Roulette.

It's a "La Roulette" type "Modeste".
The wooden case seemed to be attacked by fairground cowboys and woodworms. It was hard work to remove the paint.
Already a lot of work.

Totally worth all your hard work.
