This Circle Skill machine is in beautiful condition for its age. It was originally designed to pay out cigarettes but the drawers take packs of Wrigley's type chewing gum and work perfectly. It does take skill to direct ball into a winning tube.

When I first got this, apart from a cleanup the only problem mechanically was that putting a coin in and turning the ball release knob failed to trigger a ball dropping into play so that it could in turn push up the column of balls which then releases the top ball into the play field. After lots of head scratching I realised that it was simply that there were too many balls in the machine and the pressure in the ball queue was stopping the front ball from falling into play! A quick adjustment and it now works fine!

I believe these Circle Skill machines were made in the 1920s/1930s so it is fairly hard to find in this condition now. The chrome is lovely and the lock and key work perfectly.

Has to be collection only please - Bristol area.
