If it were a special order from a casino or whomever, would it have a marking from them?? If it helps any the console is about 32" x 24" and stands about 40" tall. The glass tops say 'twin reels' but I do not see any markings anywhere on the thing from any casino, hotel or anything like that. I have a traditional slot machine from Harrolds and another from Fitzgeralds and they have their markings all over them. Even the reel strips had the markings of the clubs. The pace machine has the regular bell fruit emblems. I will take some pics and post them tomorrow if thats ok.
Here are some pics of my Pace slot machine that I am trying to get some info on. In the pic of the side of the cabinet you can see the arm to play the machine on that side, below there is a door with a red knob. That is a tray that swings open to retrieve coins from the pay out. The other door with a lock is the access door so the cash box from the machine on the other side can be taken out. In one pic you can see the tops lifted up, this is to get access to the machines themselves, and in the pic looking into the cabinet I took out one of the machines ( 5 cent) so as to get a better view of the interior. The metal Pace insignia is on the side of the cabinet. Any info about this machine??
i got 11, counting the two i picked up at the auction this weekend. i used to have a paces reels full of origonal mints similar to the machine in the previous post here.
I have 3 mechanical Mills, Black Cherry all original and 2 Vest Pockets(1 with a serial less than 1000). Also I have a Jennings Duchess all original and about 19 Bally EM machines. All totaled is 22 machines. Dave F
I have about 40 to 60 machines but some are the newer type slots, some are em but about 40 antique slots all fun to play , but getting the real collectables can run into some heavy cash but if I can find a way I will buy them, a great hobby

You are into coins? I own a coin and jewelry store in raleigh,nc. Golden Isles Coin, let me know if you are interested in anything specific. Love the pace slot!
Have three and plan on many more Early Bandits. Looking for an early Pace with wheel varifier in .25 cent. naturally I want one that needs repairs to enjoy cleaning it up. Rick B
I now have 18 slot / gaming machines. an Addiction = YES ! Interesting to see all the "alterations" done on them by the original owners, to cheat the customers. of course not all were monkeyed with but, many. Jeff H.
