Answer
Hi Bob,

Those slot machine don't sound like any I have heard of before and you don't say who the manufacture is? By the names, I am thinking that these are the Japanese type of slots. If they are I am of no help to you. I have never had one or even looked inside of one of these Pachislo skill stop type slot machines. If there antique then let me know as this is my expertise, antique old coin operated games. The Sega X-Files pinball machine first came out in September of 1997, a six player game with Sega making 1,500 units, it has a value of $1,525.00 in average working and complete condition. Hope this helps you Bob with the requested information. Sorry I don't work or own one of the Japanese slot machines but I am old fashion that way and in Washington we have a 25 year law on slot machines so these are not legal to own here.
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!
