[Sold] 1936 Twenty One slot machine trade stimulator by Groetchen

Twenty One [21]
1936, Groetchen
$1100

Free delivery to Ontario Pinexpo at the end of the month.
Would also consider trade towards an EM pinball machine.

excellent condition. Plays 21! Spin the reels and the left 3 windows close. You are shown the 2 cards on the right. You can take a hit by pressing a button to reveal the card in the next window. You can either reveal the dealer's hand by pressing the HOUSE button, or press the 2nd DRAW button.
Once you press the HOUSE button, the DRAW buttons no longer work.

Machine has a gumball dispenser at the bottom left. I've never used this, but the mechanism is all there. It's usually missing on these machines.
This machine is entirely mechanical. For best action, the piston needs to get occasionally oiled so it recoils slowly. There is a window on the right that shows the last coin played. Sometimes the coins accumulate here, but it doesn't seem to affect play.
Original back door included, with a key.

I wrote about this machine here: https://pinballnovice.blogspot.com/2021 ... -1936.html
you can see it here in 1939: https://pinballnovice.blogspot.com/2021 ... y-one.html
Probably one of my favourite slot-style games because it actually has the mechanical interaction. Deliciously evil design.
