here. All of the restored slot machines had been completely gone
through - both inside and out - by the Antique Gambler. Close
inspection revealed why the Antique Gambler has a well deserved
reputation of turning out some of the finest restorations in the
country. All of the fully restored machines looked super! Prices
these machines brought during the two-day auction clearly re
flected this fact.
The unique blending of both the old and the new machines
all under one roof provided an interesting atmosphere. One had
to wonder what kind of a unique mixture of buyers would turn
up for the auction. The modern slots could only be purchased by
Nevada residents.
The speculation here was that most of the
newer machines would be bought by mom and pop type of small
operations for actual use in roadside cafes, small bars, and other
related small businesses.
