If you're new to the field of vintage collectible coin-ops, or need the new information and color plates of Mills machines being published here for the first time, you ll want a copy of SLOTS 1. This updated 10th Anniversary Edition of the standard reference book of slot machine collecting has been completely reedited and redone to make it the single most useful book that a vintage coin machine collector can have on a library shelf. Except it won't stay there long. You'll find yourself checking and rechecking its information-filled pages and using its color plates for accurate and precise restorations of your machines. Even if you are not a collector and just enjoy the look and significance of these chance-taking expressions of American industrial ingenuity, there s much to enjoy in Slots 1. When Slots 1 was first published in 1978, it set the standards for the coin-op collectible books to come. Since that time, three additional volumes, with 100 additional machines in each, have been published. Increasingly sophisticated in content, and stretching their coverage into the more advanced stages of vintage slot machine collecting, the later volumes build on the base established in SLOTS 1. Yet SLOTS 1 remains the primer for the new collector and advanced restorer. Now out of print, SLOTS 1 has been brought back in this new edition. It s everything the original was, plus more. Chapters and Contents Include: * New! A new updated forward describing the book, its history, and how to become a vintage slot machine collector * 100 of the most popular collectible slot machines - including 9 trade stimulators - illustrated and described * New!
