Ditto for the side vender as two or three suppliers have
reproduced this component.
That red and yellow lever system on your Q. T. identifies it as
the "Convertible" model for straight Bell play or no-pay-on-
check play. This will all be detailed in the upcoming Coin Slot
Guide No. 82for the Mills Q. T. It probably won't be ready until
sometime next year as it is high up in the numbers, although
extra interest might speed it up a bit.
And when will a book on serial numbers be published? Well,
it's in the works. Volume 3 of the "100 Most Collectible Slots"
series is just about written and will include all of the serials that
have appeared in The Coin Slot, as well as twice as many more.
It'll be the complete serial number guide for years. Expect
publication early next year.

Dear Coin Slot:
Just a very short note to let you know that I feel the COIN
SLOT has improved tremendously since Rosanna Harris
became Editor. I wanted to pass this comment to you. First of
all, the printing is much better; and the photos look very good.
Also, you can really see that you have taken a creative approach
to the publication. Above all and something the readers should
be able to see very easily, COIN SLOT concentrates strictly on
issues that pertain to slots, pinballs, and other old machines. It is
enjoyable to receive it and review the articles. I sincerely hope
other readers share my views.
Cordially yours,
Dale Bassett
Dear Editor:
I am looking for the following parts for a Pace Comet—any
info would be appreciated. 1) The award card holder-
decorative piece across the front of machine as per picture. 2)
Escalator—complete, 3) Jack Pot strip arm. This machine is a
nickel and has a 3-5 payout. Waiting to hear from you.
Thanks—
Dear Ralph:
You've got a nifty game in the Jeu De Course, or better known
in its day as "The French Race Game". While the machine was
originally made in the early 1890's, yours looks later. They made
them the same wayfor overfifty years so it's hard to tell the age
of these clever racing machines. The maker was M. Jost &
Company in Paris, France. The French name for the maker
M.J. & Cie. The Jostfirm was a maker ofgambling goods, and
many of the "imported" roulette tables and other French
gambling equipment that ran in the western states in the mining
days was made by Jost. In fact, Jost was to France and most of
the world what Mason, Kernan, H.C. Evans and others were to
the American market.

Dear Miles:
Thanksfor the letter, Miles, and that's certainly the right way
to use COIN SLOT Guide No. 4 for the post-war Pace
DEL UXE COMET. We don't have parts here, but on the hunch
that COIN SLOT readers can help we're reproducing the
drawings you sent. Here's hoping some readers out there can
come up with the parts that you need.
