I've been interested in slot machines for years and have finally decided to get one for myself. After checking online I decided on a War Eagle. I ran across Daves video on repro/fake War Eagles and realized I would not be able to tell the original from the fake with any reliability. After watching his video, I looked at a few online sellers and it seemed even I could pick out a couple of possible fakes. But that is a maybe.
So here is my question. What advice and/or direction can those of you on the forum who have years and decades of experience in this field give to someone like me, with zero knowledge, who only wants to get one machine? I do want an original unit that can be played occasionally and displays nicely.
Thanks,
Mark
