I bought this slot machine at a auction back in 1979, it has solid oak cabinet and weights a ton. the pull handle is on the front and you pull from left to right. the lollypop stand to the right of the slot machine is a beer analyzer. It has different shades of glass on the wheel.The beer tray is from the Port Townsend Brewing Co.

luv the slot machine, but facinated by the beer analyzer.

Port Townsend Brewing Co?! Cool! Who knew there was a tray?!
