GOLDEN NUGGET WITH QUESTIONABLE DESCRIPTION

[Midcoast Vintage]

WELL, FOLKS.... A NEW TWIST HAS BEEN ADDED TO "CREATIVE DESCRIPTIONS" FOR BOGUS SLOT MACHINES.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mills-25-cent-G ... 1c3441af3e
THIS ONE IS R-E-A-L-L-Y STRETCHING THE IMAGINATION!

from the ad:
" ITEM WAS DISASSEMBLED BY CASINO AND MAILED TO CLEVELAND OHIO. "

ok...uh, who re-assembled it?
a lot of collectors do not / can not (this is not meant as a slight against collectors) work on machines, but just collect. they have their own personal "SLOT GURU" to maintain their machines.
now, ... if the story were true... which it obviously isn't... the seller of this machine will have you believe that Mr. LUCKY JACKPOT WINNER" was able to put a disassembled slot back together, and, that a casino would risk it's gambling license by shipping an illegal item across state lines? (the johnson act covered slot machines, and, any parts there of.)

the cash box and the back door are the obvious give away. those are modern recrations not available until the '70's.

This guy is another one of our latest group of 'Pure BS Artists'. Where are they all coming from? Someone must have left the corral gate open at the 'Funny Farm'!

Here is the note I dropped his way:

Dear gosney23,
Might I suggest changing your FANTASY description of this machine, so as not to defraud any potential non-knowing bidders. This machine is a total reproduction model, that has been made since the mid 1980's. There are castings and parts on this machine that were never on original production machines. First of all, the Golden Nugget, or any other casino, would never have risked their gaming license, by sending a machine across state lines, especially in the 1960's. Apparently you never heard of the Johnson Act.

And here is his asinine response:

Quite funny how I actually have the documentation from casino of item being disassembled to be shipped.

Gimmie a friggin break!!!!!!!

This is the message I sent him,

" Looks like most of the original parts were lost or confiscated in shipping that is probably why there is so many reproduction parts on your machine"

Let's see what his reply is.
