is and about how much it is worth?
As you can see from the photo, I have about three
quarters of the machine, and I have been able to
clean it up some -- and I have even managed to
get the insides working to a good degree, but
will need more information about the machine and

It takes nickels.
Thanks for your help.
Best regards,
I would appreciate any information you can
send, I am enclosing a SASE for return of the
photo and catalog page, as this is the only original
photo of this machine I have.
Thanking you in Advance, I am,
Herb Wilson

But you should know
that the Rockola OFFICIAL SWEEPSTAKES will
be covered in the volume 2 "100 Most Collectible
Trade Stimulators ... " book now being wrapped
up (but probably won't be published until late
in the year or early next year) and that it is
scheduled for its own Coin Slot Guide No. 94.
