I have one of these in the original box with instructions. I was wondering if they have any value. It is we guess from 40’s, 50’s 0r 60’s not sure.

My brothers had them when we were kids, back in the 60s. I will ask and see what can be done to get him well again, as I remember they would frequently stop working correctly – but after some tweeking were good as new again.

Aw, my grandfather had one at his bar (which I dream about all the time, complete with orange formica and marbled, mirrored wall tiles) in the basement of his and my grandmother’s house. I remember he had the original box, too, in one of the drawers under the bar. I wish I could find one.

We had one of these in the 80s when I was a kid, too! My brother, sisters and I all thought it was the coolest. I sure wish I still had it!
