Hi all. Dave was kind enough to respond to an email I had sent him about some machines he was selling on eBay. I really don't know alot about machines, but I am learning. Here's the short of my desire;
I go hunting every year with my Dad, Uncle, their friends and my friends. Way back in 1971, I built a cabin in the woods, and this has recently undergone some renovation and an addition. Besides playing poker and telling stories, we can now watch t.v., and movies... thanks to a Navy trained electrician and a Honda generator. I thought it would be a lot of fun if we had a slot machine in the cabin. Mechanical type for when the generator isn't on would make sense, but if the guys are visiting... well, it's likely the generator will be running, so electric would be okay. Oh, and I live in a 25 year State, so any machine suggested needs to be an older one.
Okay, so I'd like a slot machine, but I also need to try and limit my potential loss if somebody should hit a few jackpots in one weekend. The machine is likely only going to see action two or three weekends per year. I think it would be wise to have a jackpot limit of $50 - $100.00, and the machine needs to pay the jackpot. I don't need my Uncle waking me up in the middle of the night asking for money.
Last, but not least for consideration, is my cabin's security, which is near zero. A determined burglar could blow the door off with dynamite, and nobody would likely call the police. I really can't put a $4,000.00 Jennings El Dorado out in the woods. I'm looking for cheap, functional, dependable, fun. I'd be grateful for some suggestions. Thanks.
