Question

slotmach
If yyuo can giveme ANY information on this slot machine it would be appreciated. I am looking to sell it. Ithas no names visible inside or outside. It does work and it does pay out as it should according to the payout painted on the top.

I find no signs of being able to plug this in, and no signs internally for any type of lught bulbs, no hloes for electrical plugs, but I am sure you know more by looking at it?

Photo's attached. I can be reached through my email but would be happy to pass along my phone number, or call you if need be?
Regards
Mike Brunetti

Answer
Well Mike, this is interesting, I haven't seen anything like it. I would like to see better photo's of it if I can, my e-mail for photo's is jackpot7@ix.netcom.com
    My first guess is that it could of been made from console parts but I have to see it better. It is a mechanical slot mechanism and the reel tapes are made for a console, tapes line up different. But I can't tell who made the mechanism as the photo's are to small. Pace made mechanical slots with this type of mechanism in them. I also can't see what the game is called. It the top made of glass or plastic?, It looks to new for me as the mechanism would be from the 30's. Please send photo's, so I can research this great looking slot of yours. Thank You

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!
