Hi all, I am restoring a Paradise, and noticed that the coin chutes are different to the one on my Kings and Queens. Given they are both Gottlieb and both 1965 I wondered if one of them is not original.

Could someone confirm if they are correct (or otherwise) for the machine they are in?

Thanks in advance.

the chutes on KQ are same as in mine. Don't know when they changed to the half round version. Could be in that time frame.

Overall be glad you have chutes on both of them.

1965 Bank a ball was the first to use the half moon type. but they are interchangeable
if you are missing them they are impossible to find and if you do they cost 50+ each

Thanks guys. So they are correct. The Paradise has two of the half moons, Dave if you were me would you replace the coin plate with a single slot and keep one of the chutes back for another game in the future?
