button remains a mystery, however.
When the machine is played,
the coin is automatically dropped into a small coin box.
That is,
five out of every six coins are dropped into the small coin box.
The sixth is automatically dropped into the large coin box. This is
done via a cam wheel with five small cams for the small box and
one large cam to tip the trap door to the large box.
So the large
box gets its share on a one-to-five ratio without the second button.
The
only
reason
I
can surmise
for the second button is a pure
guess.
If the bartender had to
make a trip over to the machine,
inspect the window, the tilt, and
the pay out, it was probably for
a trip worth more than a penny,
and he automatically dropped the
coin in the larger box.
But, re
member, it probably was not his
machine,
Why would he care in
which box the large denomina
tion coin went?

by the same key that opens the
gum filler plate on top of the ma

One key is for the penny
coin box and gum filler, and a
separate key is for the large coin
