Collectibles-General (Antiques)/Coin Stuck

Expert: - 12/16/2010


Question
I recently purchased a mills golden nugget quarter slot machine. It seems to be working great however, I put a coin in and it is stuck in the insert at the top of the machine.  I can just see the edge of the coin but, I cannot seem to get it out.  I just purchased the Mills Big Book and it is on the way.  It would be great if anyone can give me some advice.  Thanks

Answer
Hi Mark,

I guess we have already discussed this via regular e-mail, and trust you have it running just fine now. Sorry for the delay on answering you here, I got myself locked out by forgetting my password.

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!
