80 year old slot machine mechanism, restored. Go ahead, look at every screw, washer, nut, bolt, springs, and cotter pins and know they are also all original and restored.

The guy that designed those Slot Machines must have been involved with designing the early Automatic Transmission Valve Bodies.

Who designed those things!!!

That goes beyond just restoration, it borders on artistry. I especially like the
period coins in post #65.

My wife would go nuts for one of those slot machines!

Thank You for the kind words, it's a passion of mine and hard to look at as work. The one I'm restoring for myself right now goes way beyond a restoration, I'm trying to make every single part a work of art. No one would ever pay me for the time I've been able to put into this one. It'll be one of a kind.

Basic but beautiful machines like this were made before 3 reel slot machine were invented but, the first 3 reel slot machine was invented by Charles Fey in 1894. It was called the liberty bell. Then, just like everything else, they kept improving them to keep them running for their customers. A broken machine makes no money and, if enough of them break, the consumer would buy a different brand.

There are some real beauties out there but i have never seen a finer paint job on one of these than my friend and mentor Tony did on this. This model is well sought after.

Lawn mowers, waverunners and boats seem to keep me occupied. i winterized the RV, two waverunners and our boat last week in preparation of the cold snap we just had. I also have a small wood shop I piddle in. I’ve been making pens on my lathe, lately.

The other things I work on are not of this Century. I built this portable blacksmith forge and build 18th century items for Washington Crossing Historic Park

Sweet! Love it. I'm part of a local western reenactment group and hold shoot outs and comedy skits. Here I am working a local parade. I'm the sheriff walking.

You may be interested in taking a jeep ride along the historic Applegate wagon trail. I’ve been on the section between I-80 in Nevada and Cedarville CA. 180 miles of nothing but desert and history. Trails West has put up many markers and you can also order a guidebook from them.

There has been 3 of us that have taken it that I know of. @elminero67 @Lookout Ranch and myself. I don’t think any of us were disappointed.
