It is the real deal. Very early 10 stop Serial number 264XXX. The other serial number is 342xxx. What is the check plate?

I think he means the Jackpot inspection door to the right of the JP. Some early models did NOT have that little door. So not having one does not always make it a repro.

Ok. The jackpot setup in that early machine is different. The tripping method is different.

I assume you are referring to the feathered back bonnet. Unfortunately I don’t have that one

Sure , the feathered is the best , but you have also the first version with eject button on it !
The feathered one is hard to find and I m not sure that is on the first version.
