Now of course, they are all but extinct and most of the remaining ones are sadly abused or missing coin-op mech. This one has been restored and is including the coin-op.

Original hard fiberboard back is present (minor chipping at top, presumably from some hooligan attempting to break in for the change) and the lock and key.
