wow, your dime Dictator looks great, thanks for the picture.
The Canadian antique store one is now standing in front of me, lol.
The whale oil statement did make me laugh as did the vegas references
I would really appreciate if you could take some pics around your coin head when you get 5 mins.
something is amiss on mine??
A couple of things I see right away-- 1) Please pull the cotter pin and re-mount the check detector so it goes under (rather than over) the peg; 2) I can't tell due to the way your picture is cropped, but wonder if the spring is missing on the part that retains the coin at the bottom of the gooseneck? It's supposed to pinch the coin and hold it temporarily as the coin detector comes down and shoves it into the escalator, but it looks almost as though the coin is pushing it aside instead!
Congratulations on getting this Dictator! I thought it was pretty tempting from the first time I saw it. BTW I called and had a very friendly chat with Alex, during which I gently corrected him on a few items from his narration... he offered to take his video down. I said, "No no no-- PLEASE don't take it away!"
