If you're chasing slot machines, you need two things: an identification book and a price guide. Eighteen years of research is presented in this pocket-sized (4" x 7.5") price guide. Data has been obtained from many sources---sales, shows, auctions, collectors and dealers. This fourth edition contains alphabetical listings (by manufacturer) for nearly 2,850 slot machines and payout gambling devices from over 200 manufacturers---from 1893 to 1997. Each entry is accompanied by five prices, from brand new, out-of-the-box to clobbered and barely workable. In addition, nearly every entry includes the machine's known nicknames, date of introduction, rarity and other pertinent comments.
This is the 1997-1998 edition. But slot machine values have been so stable the last five years, we don't foresee republishing this book until at least 2003.
