Normaly is a small numbered disc (2 ,4,8,12,16,20), driven by some gears from payout unit, behind the window.
It shows the value of last profit.
In 99% the parts a missing. I knew only 2 machines that still have this item.
Think I have a version of this in a rather plain case but with a complete mech. Skills, vender, future play.

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!
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 :burp: 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.

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?

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?

Think that's likely a Bussoz Roulette.

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. !OMFG!
Already a lot of work. :cry:
