Dear Mr. Oldslotman! Hi, it's Marty in Fl. I have an interest in all three at once. Shipping is the problem,but there has to be enough packing peanuts and foam and paper wrap to make this happen safely.

What I don't know is the value of the Pace Comets machines. Growing up in the east coast, I saw lots of Mills and Jennings only.

So how rare are Pace Comets, how do they stack up in prominence to the so called big names...or is it a big name too?

And what I really, really hope to find one day is a Jenning Sun Chief dollar machine. Got any leads on something like that?

Thanks, Marty

Pace Comet are a pretty common machine. Nice machines. They are pretty much like a Mills. I am also looking for a Jennings dollar machine. Have been looking for years. Shipping gooseneck slots seems to the most risky. If you look at a lot of the machines that have been damaged in shipping, they are goosenecks. Hard to protect that coin head.

Some have sent goose neck machines ,first removing the coin entry area off the mechanics first.
not sure if it really helps but, that's what I was told to do.
Pace machines seem to be as good of a work horse as the others.
