    Thank you Jacksje4. I guess anything on the inside will be very helpful. I will post mine once it is finished. Hopefully in about 6 weeks.

    So sorry for the delay getting these to you. I had to turn the house upside down to find the cable to my camera so I could download the pictures to my laptop. Please let me know if there are any other shots that would help. I can't wait to see pictures of your slot machine.

    There is a fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."

Upon delivery of the machine, The Mint changed the belly glass and reel stickers to brand the machine for their casino. "Minty's" was the nickname for the casino, and a mascot/character was created to fit the nickname (as seen on the front of the machine). As far as he could tell, this particular slot machine was placed into service October or November 1967 and was decommissioned sometime in 1972. From there it was sold to the person he bought it from, who played it until it stopped working, then put it into storage until 1997.
    Never expected such a "straight" history from a machine like that.. still interesting!
    Thank you very much for sharing!
