Question
i had an old friend who passed on quite a ways back. he was an expert slot man who designed the fourth wheel on old slots. anyway he gave me all these tools and old wonderful wooden tool chest full of these oddities. what should i do with these gems or should i do anything at all
Hi Mark,
Neat! I wonder what they look like, can you e-mail me a photo? if so, my address is; jackpot7@ix.netcom.com
Most slot machine tools were made to bend slot levers and such, that is how you adjust old mechanel slot machines. If I were able to see a photo I could tell if most of them are for that use, as I have a couple old slot tools myself that I use all the time to repair old slot machines. There are slot repair guys like myself out here who would be happy to buy any slot machines tools you may have, I am sure. I know I would myself. Can you e-mail or send a photo?
Thanks
Rodger Knutson

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. Please email photo's to: jackpot7@ix.netcom.com My web site is at: http://www.coinslots.com
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!
