Heads up on this one !!!! It is a cobble job. The cat and witch listed is not real. This is a put together job, made up of a Firman revamp using the full size cabinet as on all Victoria model B and on. No serial number shown, and the back door is a very late model stamped steel door, not the cast aluminum that should be on it. The est. of $6,000-$8,000 is way out of line. Don't get caught up in this one. Never seen an original 25C either and I've worked on several over the years all 5C.

They thanked me for the information and updated the listing as well as the estimate.

Dave:
I got a nice reply from them as well, thanking me, and stating that they had changed the listing.
It sure does help, when more than one person sends a message. Usually it's a 'Hard-Head', that
tells you to "mind your own business". I recently got a similar answer, from a clown with a yellow
"Golden Magget". Two photos only. One closeup of the upper front, and a dark fuzzy shot of the
mechanism. I could tell exactly what it was, just from his two cruddy pics. He was upset that I
was calling his machine a FAKE. Guess I was the only one that rattled his cage?

As a group , we should go after slots on e-bay, listed wrong , fakes, export machines, ect.
someone point it out & 3 or 4 of us make similar comments on it to the seller.
now on items on C.L. or ect. ???? still wouldn't hurt.

currently found a 1950's high top but the mechanics look to be a goose neck !
And wants $1,300.00 for it. has the bill of sale for A & P slots who screwed his father on this.
I asked for photos of the mechanics OUT of the cabinet. I want to know how they made the escalator hand off coins to the mechanics.
his father passed away ,he got it , & only see $$$$ signs , has no interest in it.
