Dear Mr. Legeer,
We really enjoyed receiving and reading your letter. We were
amazed by theprices you quoted on the machines. Many ofour
dealers would be extremely happy to get those amounts for
machines.
Dear Byron,
Your machine is the Space "Front Open", a casino model
made by the Space Manufacturing Company in Sparks,
Nevada in the late 1950's, and later by Space Manufacturing

Dear Editor:
A friend ofmine from Illinois suggested that you might be able
to help me in my search for the mechanism for a 10
antique slot machine. The ownership of such machines has been
legal in Missouri for several years and I picked up the cabinet
and base for this machine several months ago in southern
Missouri. I have contacted all of the collectors that I know in the
St. Louis area without success.
