A. Dear AT.,
Shamokin, Pennsylvania
Your Pace BANTAM Bell machine was produced
between 1928-1936.
It is very difficult to determine how many BAN
TAMS were made even with the serial numbers.
However, you might be able to get some idea from
Dick Bueschel's Volume 3 slot book The value is
around $900 - $1,100. There are no repair manuals
for the BANTAM, but I understand The Coin Slot
Pace Bell Repair Guide should work Parts are
available through advertisers in The Coin Slot
Q. Dear Pappy,
Just wanted to drop a line concerning a letter
from a party who purchased a reproduction WAR
EAGLE at an auction where it was presented as
original. Pappy should have urged the writer to
seek legal aid. Our hobby needs building up, not
tearing down by rip off artists pushing reproduc
tions as originals.

A. DearJ.E.,
You're right, of course. Legal action is certainly
an alternative which I did not mention and is
available. There are the obvious drawbacks such
as money and time, but perhaps it's time for a
precedent to be set. Thank you for your comments
and concern.
Dear J.T,
What an unusual machine. It's the first one I've
ever seen. The machine is called the REEL-O-
BALL and was introduced at the Coin Show in
March of 1932 by the Yendes Mfg. and Sales
Company in Dayton, Ohio. Basically it looks to be a
rip off of the Mills and Caille BASEBALLS that
came out around 1910. It certainly would be a nice
addition to any trade stimulator collection.
Q- Dear Pappy,
Can you help me with some background on this
