AND SUCH,ANY HELP WITH A PARTS SUPPLIER(IF ONE EXISTS) WOULD BE APPRECIATED. I WOULD ALSO BE INTERESTED IN IT'S VALUE

Hi Garry,  A great guy, Hal O'Rourke made a lot of replacement parts for the Worlds' Series.  His site is halor.com  Unfortunately, Hal passed away last year.  Another fellow, Nate Thompson has taken over in Hal's place.  You can contact him at:  nathant@spectralogic.com

Expertise

I can answer virtually any question relating to coin operated machines. I have been a BUYER and COLLECTOR for over 25 years and have authored a number of PRICE GUIDES on the subject. My favorite coin operated items are penny arcade machines and pinball games, although I have a vast knowledge in all areas. I also have a huge quantity of coin operated paper advertising which can help date and identify most items.I can answer questions on vending machines, arcade machines, fortune tellers, slot machines, digger/crane machines, gumball machines, peanut machine, gum machine, strength testers, lung testers, pinball machines, gambling machines, bowling machines, etc. I have expertise in the machines from Mills Novelty, Caille, Watling, Keeney, Genco, Chicago Coin, Gottlieb, Bally, Williams, etc.

Experience

I have written a number of Price Guides for penny arcade machines AND for pinball games and am considered one of the experts in the hobby on pricing.

Education/Credentials
I come from the school of experience. Collecting Coin operated items is my life and hopefully you have some questions to test my abilities!
