is what came up under the "Other" category the other day: Ebay
Seller said it was New in the box and only taken out for the pics. They were absolutely accurate!
It's brand spank'n new! Not a scratch on it and the lens was even still wrapped in a little tissue
envelope! Got a smok'n deal and am pleased as punch. Here are the pics:

Well, the $30 ones are beat to heck and some don't work. Yes, new in the box
on a 60 year old toy is exciting for this old man!

Oh yeah, have not even plugged it in yet! Oh, I will be trying that out tomorrow on some
rolls of cents!

Have you ever heard the expression: You can't teach an old dog new tricks?
I have no clue how to make a video or what to use to do that with. I don't have a cell phone
which, I presume, most people that make videos use. I do have an older Bell and Howell camera
that takes film by the reel, but who develops that stuff nowadays? My newer VHS camcorder
would probably not be the tool to use either. Hmmmmm, think you are out of luck!

It's pretty simple. Plug it in to turn on the light underneath the magnifying lens. Feed a roll of coins into the vertical black tube. Pull the flat black slide toward the tube to load a coin. Push it back under the lens to view. If you push it beyond the lens, the coin will flip over allowing you to view the opposite side of the coin. Pull the slide back towards the tube, the coin on the slide drops out the bottom and a new coin is loaded.
I believe there is a tube insert that allows for narrow coins like dimes and cents. Remove the insert for quarters and nickels.
Obviously NOT recommended for high grade coins
I finally found mine after losing it in my last move. I should let my kids play with it.

a nice and very usefull item especially if you look at lots of Lincoln Cents. we used one daily at the Coin Shop where i worked for a while, looked at well over a million Cents before the little spring steel broke and couldn't be repaired again. i found one for the owner and another for myself which i still have. these were an invention from an old dealer in the Cleveland, Ohio area where i live so it isn't surprising that the seller is located there.
not to dampen your enthusiasm, but that isn't the original box, just a generic box that the seller put the item into. i have an original box in pretty bad condition; it was deigned to resemble a Treasure Chest which opened to reveal the Scan-O-Matic. also included was an addressed Warranty Card, a "Coin Check List" which doubled as a flyer for the company's series of coin folders and a "Coin Pictorial Grading Guide" listing some popular issues along with pictures for grading G-F-XF. it's all circa 1966 and the Modern issues such as Washington Quarters have listings for 1965-D and 1966-D.
how nostalgic!!!!
wow, a device built specifically for looking through lots of coins. I've never seen one of these before. Thanks for sharing.
Too many positive BST transactions with too many members to list.
Did they have an instruction booklet?
