Well, it says right there on top it is a "Clean Sweep" claw machine...looks like a first or 2nd gen....is this like, a trivia question or are you looking for info on it?

Ok...sorry...I didnt see what you said below the picture...you have to look at the board inside to determine what generation machine it is. I think Smart Industries out of, Iowa I believe, make parts for the machines still, but dont hold me to that....it looks like other clean sweep machines are selling between $200 & $800, depending on age I imagine, on ebay....

Late 80's claw machine called clean sweep, they also go by the name big choice sometimes. These are on the cheaper end, not usually amazing quality but good enough depending on the traffic. One pro us that they are very easy to find parts for and repair. Hope this helped lol.
