Item Details
Description
A fantastic recreation of the Submarine Lung Tester, originally produced by Mills Novelty Company in 1904. Due to fear of Tuberculosis in the early part of the 20th Century, all lung test machines were outlawed and the majority were destroyed, leaving little trace of their popularity behind. With no original examples known to exist, Arcade Treasures and John Pappa of the National Jukebox Exchange created this beauty from advertisements and catalog renderings in 2004. Only 12 were made. An elaborate and striking game in which the objective is to blow into the mouthpiece attached to the rubber hose and raise all the divers to the top of the water filled tank. CONDITION: The quartered oak cabinet is finished in green, appearing like algae. The cast iron components are nicely polished in nickel, and the glass compartment shows signs of hard water. This is a fun game, a display of excellent craftsmanship and a rare find to add into your coin-op collection. Includes keys. This is not a standard shippable item and will require 3rd party shipping or pickup arrangements to be made. Condition: (Very Good) Dimensions: 20" X 32" X 76"
