COIN-OP GROCERY STORE
By Tom Gustwiller
I was recently told that many people don't know where to get parts for machines, supplies and award
cards. I have included the most up-to-date list that I could find for the person who wants to fix a
machine. You will find that most slot machine parts can be found but that trade stimulator parts are
much more difficult to obtain. This is because of the huge variation in design of trade stimulators.
Award cards are not as difficult as back doors and mechanism parts to obtain on trade stimulators.
You probably will have to borrow another machine to get your part made. I'm sure I missed some-
one in the business, but this is a pretty good representation.
