Question
I have recently acquired a Williams - Seeburg slot machine made 11-13-74. It is a stars and bars machine. Do you anyone who might have the glass to replace the broken and wrong glass that is in the machine? I am going to get the manual from the sugar Shack site as soon as I fing out if I can get the replacement glass. Dont want to spend more $$ on a machine that is not worth a whole lot at the state it is in. I have repaired it and it is running ok now. The glass will make the difference. Has a generic belly " Slots a Fun" in it and a Bally glass for the reels. The top glass is the only correct on e and it is cracked. Thanks for the time.

I don't know where your going to find glass for that older slot machine, I am sure it might be around somewhere and if you knew what it looked like you could send photo's to some of the larger slot machine dealers to see if they might have it in stock somewhere. Williams/Seeburg is not that common of a machine so that will make a search much harder. I would watch ebay under antique slot machine parts or glass and see what you can find. I wish I know someone dealing in these but I don't, but I do see them around and there a good working machine and well worth saving. If I think of something I'll revise this posting so you will be notified and can read it below this entry. Sorry David, sometimes finding parts like this will take a lot of digging and sending out a Lot of emails to dealers asking for Seeburg slot machine glass. You might try this site and run a add in there classified section, it's free, the site is at:
