Bad Keys

[at-slots]

i have about 15 sammy machines.....not all the same keys....... that also goes for the door keys

[at-slots]

it also looks like that the aristocrats and rodeos use the same power supplies as the sammys in the later years.....i have earlier years of sammys that use a totaly different power supply.....so i it depends on the year of the machine.....do u need a reset key for a sammy also ?

I have 2 Eleco Pachislo's both door keys are interchangeable. But the resets keys are not.

[at-slots]

it can go either way....2 machines same door keys.....2 machines different door keys.....same with the power supplies

i have read,, re-read,, and read again this tread on keys,, i think keys are a major part of a machine,, and i would like to know in advance,before buying a machine whether it has the orginal keys,or keys someone rigged to fit,, i wouldn't buy a machine with a rigged "key system" ,, i now know from reading this,, when i buy my next machine,, from whomever,, one of the first questions i will ask is " are the keys the orginal keys to the machine" ,, i just want what i pay for,, and i would like to know in advance

Yes, You should ask all your Questions before you bid, not after.
This also helps you know what the seller is like in answering your question.

[misscrazylady]

not just on bidding,,you can buy these machines from vendors,flea markets, pawn shops, costcos,e-bay,, you name the store theres a slot machine,,but for the first time buyers they see a cheap price,, and they buy,, without looking at the whole picture

There were exporter in Japan that didn't sell key's at all. I don't know if that has changed to they all sell keys or not.
For the buyer to cover their wants, should make a list of what they expect and check off it on any machine they are thinking of buying.

I realize that the places that misscrazylady has listed, don't know squat of what they are selling. So maybe you need to stick to the vendor who does answer your questions and has shown he fofills your expections.

I see the cost of the machine is becoming second to alot of other things first, Keys, Clean, Full working.

[misscrazylady]

i think your right , the cost of the machine is becoming second,, how many new members hit the site and there first toic is keys,, theres,,, i have no keys,, keys don't work,, or rigged keys that break,, than you hear about how dirty the machine is,, i have a squeaky wheel,, or can someone tell me one more time how to turn the volumn up or down,, those questions the group can help out with,, but the key problems has always been a sticky subject,, because there are so few options

Keys for sale - New line equels less ship cost , less storage , keep all stock in Cub food box , make same profit margin - me thinks should import keys and heck with machines - let someone else have them headaces, you in Arby? this make us zillinares or at least 10.00 bucks

Mine are japanese keys double cut.
If they could cut them easy, the cost would be less, but with the narrow neck for every one good cut, they burn up two blanks.
