EDITORS STATEMENT
It looks as though the first anniversary will be a great success
thanks to everyone's effort.
At this time I wish to give a great big thanks to those who have
submitted articles and given me encouragement over the past
year that are as follows:
Mr. Dick Bueschel, Bob Rosenberger,
Larry Lubliner, Steve Schmitt, Dave Evans, Dave Bassitt, Bob
Frankenberger, Joel & Shelly Gilgoff and a host of others who
have sent in news clippings and news.
Also wish to thank Orin
Yeager and Gene Foster, Steve Gronowski for their great support.
It amazes me how far coin machine collecting has come in just
the past year.
Mostly being energized because of the California
Law allowing private ownership of Antique Gambling, and with
the prospect of other states soon to follow.
It is my opinion
that this is just the tip of the iceberg.
I'm sure you will be pleased to know that The Coin Slot has
grown about 5 times in one year.
The printed material, as you
can see, has increased about 3 times, and next year looks even
greater for growth potential. I again appeal to all of you, if you
have a For Sale or Trade or Wanted or a Service you wish to
perform please get it into The Coin Slot. All the hard core coin
machine enthusiasts are on The Coin Slot mailing list.
As to a list of products available, I would like to add a word,
Unique Data Services has an impressive list of badly needed service
manuals; a list you will see in this issue.
I received my copy of Juke Box Saturday night from Antique
Juke Box Co. of Los Angeles, a beautiful hard cover 160 pages
of history and color photo's; a must for the Juke Box collectors.
Also I will mention I have received my Chocolate Vendor from
Antique Juke Box Co., they are (mint original) and you can
still get the right kind of chocolate for this machine.
Antique
Amusements also has to offer excellent reprints of early gambling
and arcade items as well as a reproduced very ornate slot machine
stand, all advertised this issue.

Assembly Bill No. 4173
CHAPTER 936
An act to add Section 330.7 to the Penal Code, relating to
antique slot machines, $nd declaring the urgency thereof, to take
effect immediately.
(Approved by Governor September 13, 1976. Filed with
Secretary of State September 14, 1976.)
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 4173, Sieroty. Antique slot machines.
Existing law does not expressly exempt antiques from criminal
prohibitions re slot machines.
This bill would create a defense to such a prosecution, including
prosecutions for acts committed prior to its effective date, as to
specified antique slot machines.
The bill would take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
The people of the State of California do enact as follows:
SECTION 1. Section 330.7 is added to the Penal Code, to read:
330.7. (a) It shall be a defense to any prosecution under this
chapter relating to slot machines, as defined in subdivision (2) of
Section 330b, it the defendant shows that the slot machine is an
antique slot machine and was not operated for gambling purposes
while in the defendant's possession. For the purposes of this sec
tion, a slot machine shall be conclusively presumed an antique slot
machine if it was manufactured prior to 1941.
(b) Notwithstanding Section 335a, whenever the defense
provided by subdivision (a) is offered, no slot machine seized from
any defendant shall be destroyed or otherwise altered until after a
final court determination that such defense is not applicable. If
the defense is applicable, any such slot machine shall be returned
pursuant to provisions of law providing for the return of property.
(c) It is the purpose of this section to protect the collection and
restoration of antique slot machines not presently utilized for
gambling purposes because of their aesthetic interest and impor
tance in California history.
SEC. 2.
This act is an urgency statute necessary for the
immediate preservation of the public peace, health or safety with
