Recently a friend of mine found a 3 game bulk deal and this was one of the games. He knows that I’m always looking for woodrail machines so he was kind enough to cut me in on the deal and sell it to me. Based on the price and his description I agreed to buy it without seeing it first. As you can see below I was not disappointed. The backglass is trashed but the cabinet and playfield are in amazing condition given the age of the machine. I really love the old woodrail machines and they don’t come up too often around here so I was really happy to get this gem.

Shay Arcade Group has a reproduction backglass available. It will end up costing me more than twice the price of the whole machine but given the condition of the playfield I think it will be worth it.

The backglass is in really bad shape. I thought that a local operator I deal with had one but I must have been seeing things because when I went to pick it up it was nowhere to be found. Oh well… at least there is a reproduction available.

The coin door is also in great shape. A lot of these wood doors were broken to steal the coins or otherwise abused leaving them incomplete or missing all together.

Someone must have changed the machine to 5 cent play at some point. This stamp indicates that it was originally configured for 10 cent play.

The rest of the pictures show the playfield in better detail.
