Offering for sale this guaranteed alloriginal 1950 ABT SKILL GUN target shoot penny arcade game.

I have sold quite a few of these ABT machines in recent years – most of them are 100%mechanical machines from the mid 1940s.

This is a more unusual 1950 (per label inside cabinet) machine that features a very innovativeELECTRO-MECHANICAL light-up scoring system!

The gun is the classic mechanicalpellet-firing gun that ABT used since the 1920s. But the scoring system is a very advanced(for its time) score-keeping system that advances automatically as the targetsare hit.

There are different VALUES for the targetsbased on how easy/difficult they are to hit.And the automatic score-keeper records the proper value AND has a yellowmarker to help remind the shooter which targets have already been struck.

WATCH THE VIDEO (below) TO SEE IT WORK – IT’S AWESOME!!!

Condition-wise, the machine is quitegood.

There are NOmajor / offensive scrapes or graffiti marks into the cabinet. There is some wear and tear - but that\'s to be expected.

The two decals on thetop glass are newer replacements (and the glass is too) - they look fantastic.

To play thisvintage trade stimulator you insert a penny in the slot alongside the gun andpush down on the lever on the right side. That resets any targets thatwere previously hit and unlocks the gun.It also sets the red-glowing score system to Zero.

You then take aimthrough the glass sight and pull the trigger. Each shot hurls a pellet atthe target.

For each target youstrike, the number glows through the red window – and the yellow targetindicator falls away.

After 10 shots thetrigger locks and the gun is ready to accept a new penny.

The gun was completely overhauled and works as well as new. Itmakes game-play a lot of fun.

While the machineis an exquisite original example, note that it is not without some wear andtear. There are a few minor scrapes here or there on the top plastic head- and there are some scrapes on the cabinet. The wooden base is solid but there\'s a small bit of one corner missing in the far back corner (see photo). The scoring mechanism sometimes registers a value that is too high (40 points for a 20 point target) - but it works correctly most of the time.

The machine even has a tax stamp (metal sticker) on the head - it apparently spent time in Calgary!

The back door is a newer wood replacement that shows nicely. The machine has a newer lock with 2 keys. Thereis a reprint paper label fixed inside the back door.

The Original paperlabel with serial number is inside the case. (see photos) It is dated 1950.

The machinemeasures 10 inches wide X 15 high X 29 long.

Please look at allphotos - email with any questions.
