Question
I have a Williams Eight Ball, S/N 39394, including schematics.  Good condition, but needs bumpers and minor repairs due to lack of use.  What can you tell me about this machine? I may be interested in selling.  Can you give me an approximate value and where to find buyers?  I am in the Atlanta, GA area.  

Answer
Hi Ben Williams made two models in different times, 8-Ball in 1952, which is a 0ne player game, and 1966 they made an 8 ball that is a two player. But on the other hand there value is the same in the value guide, and that is $525.00. I would just run an add to sell it, also craigs list is a good place to list it.
Thank 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!
