Coin Slot
Issue: 1978 October 045 - Page 38
Coin Slot Magazine - #045 - 1978 - October [International Arcade Museum]
As long as we are fooling around with ideas, let's come up with
a theoretical machine name.
The clue is probably the coinage.
It appears that the machine is 5-way nickel play as the five coin
slots are all the same size.
The payout coin tracks at the bottom
are probably for the color payouts, with black or red spitting out a
dime, with the other colors paying a quarter, half or silver dollar,
accounting for the payouts on all five colors.
That means the
location had to lead the machine with the payout coins to put it
out
The larger coins solved the problem of high payouts with
a single coin rather than trying to pump out a bunch of nickels
the high risk of jams. The biggest coin-therefore the big attraction
was the one dollar piece, so for my money the possible machine
name
that
comes
to
mind
is the White SILVER
DOLLAR.
I almost hate to drop this last clue to where this machine might
be as Tve harbored my own dream of finding it.
But there's no
point in keeping everything to myself, and I haven't done a thing
to track this machine down.
So it's all yours, readers:
the old
picture was taken in Leadville, Colorado.
