- IPDB We have verified that the advertised length of 37 x 20 inches is correct when including the legs in the measurements. Without the legs, the cabinet itself measures 35 x 18 inches. 'The Waldorf' was one of the "Aristocrat" series of games marketed exclusively by the Chicago Coin Machine Exchange (renamed in the summer of 1933 as the Chicago Coin Machine Company). The name of this game appears only on the paper Instruction and Price Card, as "The Waldorf". Pictured in this listing is a Standard version with cabinet painted green, at 5 balls for 5 cents, and carrying the red decal of the Supreme Vending Company of New York. According to an article in Automatic Age, October 1931, pages 39 and 41, William Blatt, President of the Supreme Vending Company, "surprised the industry" with his announcement of an "Operator's Exchange" that allowed an operator to return machines purchased from the Supreme Vending Company, if in reasonable working order and within a period of six months, and, in return, receive 50 per cent of his original investment. We don't know if Supreme Vending Company was responsible for the green paint or the increase of price to 5 cents or for even the absence of the paper apron indicating the Waldorf name, as any of these changes are found in many old games that have survived this long.
