I have recently inherited a slot machine, and was wondering if any one could help me find out any more information on it.

The only markings I have found are; Summit Systems Inc. Model 3103 Serial 87004.

Is Summit Systems Inc. a manufacturer? As I haven't found much on them besides some parts.

Any way someone could help me with a value of this machine?

I'm sure that Rodger Knutson-- a very generous gentleman who helped me lots via email years back, and who I'm sure posts on this forum occasionally-- will put you on the right track if you follow this old link:

Summit was a revamper of Bally EM series machines and was among the early manufacturers of solid state systems using motherboards. Occasionally a Summit troubleshooting manual appears on Ebay.

Great, thanks! Where would I be able to find the Bally model #? Or how else could in determine the value of this machine?

Post some pictures. I have one Summit dollar machine, that didn't work when I got it. Many hours and lots of research later, I got it to operate nicely.

Does yours have a window in the reel assembly with two PC boards plugged into it? I found issues with those, and with the BEAU connectors at the rear of the reel assembly.

Here are some of the pics I just took. Where can I find anything about the year, make, model?

Some more pics.

As I see posted before, Summit had taken Balley machines and redone them adding their own touch. Sometimes tthey would aslo redo the glass as well. I have a Bally Medalist that used to have a Summit reel glass in it. Since this machine of yours is the electonic or solid state type, I would put it from the 80's to mid 80's, to the best I would guess. You might want to look at one of the boards and see if it is dated. That would be more acurate in dating the machine.

I would guess the machine is between 1985 and 1987. Summit doesn't date the machines on the tag.

I see the "Insert Coin" light is on. That's a real good sign...ready to play and pay. As long as the reels are

As for value, I would think it'd be worth anything between $200 and $500. Summit machines are well known for their quirks and electrical problems, so most Bally guys will avoid them. And there is not a whole lot of useable troubleshooting data out there, compared to the E series Bally machine (which your Summit started life as). Looks to be a clean example, so it'd probably be valued on the high end.
