Duchess Bandit

[Mooseman]

I got this ruffler & walker one armed bandit a while back as part of a job lot of games.
Does anyone have any info on the company or this model?
How much is it worth? In 2005 one sold at auction, condition unknown for £90
As this looks so tatty would I be comitting a sin to shotblast it and powder coat some life back into it.
Put 1d into it today, pulled the handle and it spun a treat. Actually spun better than my tic tac toe arcadian that gets played every day.

The purists on pennymachines.co.uk would probably frown upon a revamp but if you do it up 200-250 would possibly be a fair price. . I have done a couple of bandits up in the past and I have been surprised at what I sold them for. Oh and it was made by Jennings by the way Ruffler and walker were suppliers much like associated leisure.
