Identify this, and is it worth money?
last night I was bbq'ing, in the backyard there is a garage with a normal garage door, and a stable next to it, underneath the stable is a trap door, with steps leading down to a room that was used to store moonshine, and other things of that nature when my grandpa and uncles did that stuff, I decided to do a little urban exploring and went down there, no one has been down there in forever as the whole room was COVERED with spiderwebs, like you see in the movies, almost looked like a thick fog. Anyways, I found this machine, dont know what it is, it fits on a table, and I assume is used for gambling?? It has a bunch of ball bearings in the back, and pegs and holes on the front, along with a picture of a lady. anyone know what it is, and would it be worth any money? I didnt haul it out, becuase I didnt want to break it doing it by myself, but hopefully I can get some pics tonight.

You've already google imaged it, can't you wiki it? [/ QUOTE ] Incidentally for you kids out there, this is an interesting area of computer science, being able to classify items semantically based on pictures.

What are the odds? That's the EXACT model that was in my basement at my parent's house when I was growing up. But we were SOOO cool we built it into a wall instead of it being free-standing.
