Works as it should. My parents bought this for me as a Christmas present in the middle 1980s. I don’t know much about it but the turning mechanism works as it should. The game also works as it should. It has a strong spring and when you put a penny in and dispense a gumball, you play a game to get it in Home run triple double single, or strike out and strike out and you lose the gumball home run, single double triple and you win the gumball so it’s kind of a gambling machine too I guess . What was once glass? I’m assuming is now plastic that surrounds the machine the key has been misplaced although I have it somewhere, but for the time being considered, you’re buying it with no key. Let me know a specific questions.
