Coin Slot Magazine - #069 - 1980 - November [International Arcade Museum]
In response to Dick BuescheFs answer to Ralph Goodlet
(Coin Slot Letters to the Editor, p. 6, June 1980 issue), I have
two old instruction manuals for Keeney's Bonus Super Bell,
Three-Way Model, and Two Chute Convertible Replay Model,
as well as wiring diagrams if you have not found them yet. None
of the material is in very good condition, but it useable, if Coin
Slot would like to borrow it and copy it for a "Coin Slot Guide."
I need some information on two machines that I am in the
process of restoring and can find nothing about in An
Illustrated Price Guide to the 100 Most Collectable Slot
Machines, Vol. I and II. Can you supply some information and
approximate values of a Mills Three Bells and a 1936 Exhibits
LETTERS
Longchamps?
Sincerely,
Rebecca Bryan
TO
THE
EDITOR
Dear Rebecca;
I guess you know by now that we agreed to agree with the
suggestion that auction prices should be published. We did it in
September for the Pace auction, and we'll be doing it in the
future.
Dear Editor:
First, thank you for straightening out my subscription. Am
now receiving The Coin Slot each month.
Second, as per your August issue welcoming comments on
your decision not to publish prices on individual machines sold
at the Pace Auction, Chicago. I want to protest. Having been a
thoroughbred breeder for nearly twenty years, I subscribe to
several trade publications including The Blood-Horse and
The Thoroughbred Record. Both carry complete sales results
from all major auctions in North America which are vital to
owners, breeders and buyers in placing a dollar value on the
product sold privately. I think that The Coin Slot could do the
same service for coin machine collectors by publishing major
auction results. Even a summary which included the number of a
particular type of machine auctioned and a price range from the
lowest price to top dollar would be most helpful.
And many, many thanks for your offer ofhelp with the Coin
Slot Guides. It's been a tough job gathering as many manuals
and wiring diagrams as are needed to assemble these guides, and
Dick Bueschel has been at it for years. We checked with Dick
and while he also thanks you he told us that he already has the
data needed for the Keeney TWO-WAY BONUS SUPER
BELL (Coin Slot Guide No. 92 now in the works) and the
Keeney THREE-WAY and FOUR-WAY BONUS SUPER
BELL (to be in the second 100 list of Coin Slot Guides now being
assembled). So thanks for the offer, and if the one he's got get
lost in afire or something we'll be back.
As for the other two machines you mention, the material is
also on hand and both the Mills THREE BELLS and the
Exhibit LONGCHAMPS (along with the Exhibit CHUCK-A
LETTE) are scheduledfor Coin Slot Guides in the second 100
series. THREE BELLS will also be described in the volume 4
"100 Most Collectible Slot Machines" book now in the works.

Dear Bernie:

the subtitle for Coin Slot Guide No. 8 that guide is really

SILENT, and as a number of other Mills machines utilize the
same mechanism they are listed in the subtitle of the guide. The
problem comes in the minute variations from one model to
another. If we were to prepare a Coin Slot Guide for each and
every model of every slot machine the guides would number in
the thousands. That's a lot of printing, and they probably
wouldn't sell too well anyway. So we took the best route we
could, and tried to concentrate on key guides that cover as many
