Answer
Hi Chad,

    GREAT GAME! I know the slot well, I worked on one. Value depending on condition is anywhere from about $800.00 to $1,400.00. If you want to email me at my email address, jackpot7@ix.netcom.com I will see what I have on it, and scan it for you, and email it to you.
This is a great game and fun to play.
Sorry but I know nothing about wire players?.
Thanks You

Expertise

I am an expert on old coin operated machines, slot machines, trade stimulator's, jukeboxes, old arcade machines, etc. I have been identifying these for people who respond to my web site listed below, for a few years now. In almost all cases I am able to tell them about their old coin operated machines, the year, the value, and other general information about their machines. I do not know much about soda vending machines, coin banks, or scales, but I will try to help you with these if I can.

Experience

I bought my first slot machine, a .50 Cent Mills Black Cherry in 1969 and have been hooked from that time, I still have that Slot machine! Before that I found a open barrel full of old scraped jukebox wall boxes behind a restaurant, I wanted them all but never took a one of them. Anything that took a coin drove me nuts!
