Hey - one thing I forgot to mention was that I figured out that the payout cup and base wood have been converted on my machine. If you check the other one out with the camo paint it has a super minimalist squared off tray below the mouth that matches the rest of the machine, and then a shorter wooden base sticking out the front. And if you look at the first photos I added of my machine last year you'll see this dorky looking rounded payout cup. I think that whoever re-vamped/modernised my machine at a later date chose to make a new and much larger casting to stop coins flying onto the floor. While I like it when that happens, and it does on most machines I've restored to a small extent, the original payout as shown on the other machine has the lowest lip I've ever seen. So coins would've flown all over the place. I plan to mock up a replacement in wood and bondo so I can have my foundry cast a new one. Once it has the smaller cup in place the cast mouth above makes a lot more sense. akuaku
