I just bought an old Irving Kaye from a family friend. He couldn’t tell me much about it but the felt is worn and it has some damage. Serial number on the tag is K-1869. Any information would be helpful. It came with 2 keys and one is for the coin tray but the other doesn’t work on the ball return. Any Ideas on how to get it open?
Tyler, if it’s an Apollo, it was produced in early summer 69. Can you upload a photo? Unfortunately, the lock at the Apollo is very klever on a corner, to which you can not get from the inside without damaging something. However, no special locks were used, but normal cheap vending machine locks. Simply drill the lock and replace it with a new lock.

This Apollo is still the old version, the openings at the ends do not yet have cast frames but the edges of the opening were only covered with strips. A beautiful and now rare Version this models.

How would you recommend restoring it? There are quite a few dings in the furmica and the chrome corners have some dings as well
To dismantle the corners, you have to take out the slate plate. Under the markings at the top of the rails are the screws for the frame of the rails. Lift off the entire frame and then remove the slate plate. The slate plate of the 7 foot table weighs about 300 pounds. Then you get to the screws from the corners to dismantle them. Each corner is fixed with four nuts. Although the corners were made of thick sheet metal, these are unfortunately very often dented. This basically happens during transport, if you are not careful. I always bend them carefully and if necessary I have them new chrome-plated. However, the original chrome was of good quality and sometimes you can save the old chrome.
