Interesting Model A in Texas

[p.opus]

This is an interesting looking Late Model A.

The price is high, but the shipping is really low. Don't know what to think there.

Water damage on the playfield, but otherwise, the front looks good. No details of the back, but overall, pretty clean.

The most interesting aspect is the two jackpot pockets between the spinners.

If I had the dinero, I might take a chance on this. Perhaps someone can explain those jackpot pockets and how they affect gameplay.

Looks like a little paint wear on the ball launcher.

The upper center tulip is very unique.

Here are some details of the back of an "identical" model, not this particular machine. Looks as if the inner jackpots are single payout. The outer jackpots activate the lower center tulip. The center jackpot somehow positions the two side mechanisms. The side jackpots however both seem to be directed to open the center pocket. regardless of their position, so it seems there does not appear to be any "advantage to postitioning the side mechachisms to one side or the other.

Depending on how the seller answers some questions I may make a bid on it.
