E for $4900.00, a 24 unit Multifiore for $5250.00 a Wurlitzer Pianino for
$1700.00 (uncertainty as to its condition kept the price down), an unre-
stored Wurlitzer CX Orchestrion for $6000.00 and a Link Orchestrion for
$4700.00. Among the more recent items, a vintage 1940's Wurlitzer 750

Because of the large number of coin-operated machines sold at the auc
tion, the above listing is of necessity, incomplete. Hopefully, it should
provide you with a flavor of the auction and a general feeling of the pri
ces realized.
Despite the fact that the auction occasionally dragged and there were
probably too many lots for a three-day auction, everyone agreed that it
was an event well worth attending.
S, for one, found that meeting and
being with other collectors from around the country was worth the price
of admission alone.
Evenings were spent discussing machines as well as
attending shows along the Strip or gambling in the casinos. I eagerly look
forward to the next Arrington auction. I urge my fellow collectors, if at
all possible, to attend.
These are treats not easily found anywhere else.
I don't just write about
machines, I also
collect them.
Top prices paid for old gambling machines, especially cast iron
one-reelers and trade stimulators. I am especially looking, and
will pay top dollar for: MILLS SCARAB, MILLS UMPIRE,
MILLS EAGLE, MILLS OR CAILLE CHECK BOY, CAILLE
TOURIST, CAILLE BASE
BALL, CAILLE SILVER CUP.
