What defines the category
Mechanical reel machines collected for castings, mechanisms, graphics, cabinet design and history. Marketplace labels can be broad or wrong, so use mechanism, coin path, vending, payout and cabinet evidence.
Inspection priorities
- Document age and maker
- Inspect reels and payout systems
- Check jackpot and escalator
- Separate original from restored surfaces
- Research law before transfer
Before purchase
Document age evidence, maker, mechanism completeness, restorations and legal research. Price shipping and fragile castings before treating a low hammer price as a bargain.
