As for switched mechs, that's tougher. But does it really
matter? The operators ofyore switched mechs all the time to
keep their machines running. So ifit's a switch from the 1930s

only real way to tell is if both the cabinet and the mech have
serial numbers, and they're different The other way to tell is

probably recently (i.e. within the last 15 years).

Collectible Slot Machines, Volume 3. But the other two were in
the updates, missing coinage. So now the story is complete.
Very truly yours,
