Too bad he didn't respond to any of us who contacted him until he found out that he might get delisted for selling misrepresented items on E-Bay.
Too bad he still does not list all the stuff missing from the machine (Jackpot, vendor, gold award, back door, bonnet, escalator, etc.).
Isn't it easy to say, hey, don't blame me I am not an expert. However, if you look at the description, he sure makes it sound like he is an expert.
If he really had a slot collector look at the machine he would not have listed it that way in the first place. Why didn't he tell us what the slot collector had to say about the machine? I think we all know the answer to that.
Regarding the other machine, I told him how to check to see if the castings were iron (use a magnet). So he knows but does not want to admit it. He still claims that machine is close to 100 years old.
I actually don't have that big of a problem with the other machine since it at least has the right parts on it.
Isn't it interesting that the two high bidders (on the RAT) have a total of 3 feedbacks between the two of them?
His last post about shills makes no sense.

My example is a bit exaggerated, but if you're selling a house, do you have to describe it as not having a swimming pool, or not having a 3-car garage? This mainly applies to anyone expecting the description of the 2nd machine to say whether it's iron or aluminum. Ask before bidding.

Also, I dont' have a magnet, is there another way to check if it's iron or alum? It's super super heavy, does that tell you anything? It was hard for 2 people to lft.
