Jentzsch & Meerz Giganta
Topic split from Re: C.M. Schwarz Tura - Site Admin
Think I have a version of this in a rather plain case but with a complete mech. Skills, vender, future play.santelmann wrote: ↑Sat Sep 07, 2019 5:49 pmNormaly is a small numbered disc (2 ,4,8,12,16,20), driven by some gears from payout unit, behind the window.mastereddy69 wrote: ↑Sat Jun 29, 2019 6:35 pm Does anyone know what that little glass window is on the top left of the front of the machine?
It shows the value of last profit.
In 99% the parts a missing. I knew only 2 machines that still have this item.

That is a late Jentzsch & Meerz Giganta! Rare!
Here some information:

The mechanism is similar to J&M Omega type machine but with sidepull. Notice the little reel on left machine.

Oh! Jentzsch & Meerz, I was thinking that it was Schwarz as it's got a badge featuring an acorn and leaves, like on the Schwarz top casting.

Hi Dave!
The acorn and leaves sign appeared roundabout 1932 and was used by some German manufactors
J&M:
Brass plate or cast in frontplate or casted plate to fix with screws
Tura:
Casted in top
First only acorn and leaves, then with word "Deutsch" last version with "Rein Deutsch"
Dewag Automatenbau
Waterslide Decal in red, white or gold, or printed in black on white paper inlay

Hi Dave!
I have organized me a conversion Giganta, nice case but the machine is completely destroyed.
I'm sure that I have the missing parts somewhere in stock but I have no idea how they look....
Specially the assembly for the coin insert mechanism to the driver disc on the main frame is wanted.
Could you make a picture from your machine?

Hi, will do, but I am on holiday at the moment, waiting for the weather to improve in the UK, so could be some time.

Finally dug out the J&M Giganta. Got to say that it's well engineered and different from the usual mechanisms.

That's brilliant!
Will it run on just House Coal or does it have to be Welsh Steam?

Re: Jentzsch & Meerz Giganta
Santelman, how about posting a photo of what looks like a showman's painted allwin, bottom right hand corner of your photo, that appears to be painted in hallucinogenic colours?

Re: Jentzsch & Meerz Giganta
It's a "La Roulette" type "Modeste".
The wooden case seemed to be attacked by fairground cowboys and woodworms. It was hard work to remove the paint.
Already a lot of work.
