Paladin: The machine in the photo, is indeed one of Exhibit Supply's many non-selector models. They made numerous examples, that have not been shown in sales literature, or collector books. I have a listing of several, that are not usually seen. They had to have made very few of some. Another thing ...

Pete: You may be in luck, by being able to use a 1c coin-head. Someone has reproduced these in the past, but I do not remember who it was. Our Forum member (mechanic) may know who it was. Hopefully he will chime-in. :D Or perhaps Stephane knows, if that is a recast in his photo? Stephane: Would like...

Ken: Contact Meade Publishing directly. They still sell many books and manuals, and may have some old stock, or may have done revised edition reprints. Go to: (orders@meadpublishinglasvegas.com) At present, they do list the Pace Owners Pictorial Guide, as 'Out-of-print', but it doesn't hurt to ask. ...

Rick:
Just an off-the-subject note, but I noticed last night, that someone on eBay is selling several issues
