Dave Berten?

Have a generic question? Post it here.

If you have a question regarding a specific slot machine or trade stimulator please post it in either the Slot or Trade Stimulator area.

Late reply here. I was out for two months, after major neck/spine surgery - still recovering actually.
I gave up on contacting Dave. I hope he's ok.
I tried a couple more times and never heard back. Maybe he's quitting the business? It's a shame because I always gave his name/info out on Newlifegames.com, a massive slot machine forum that I'm an administrator on.
Does anyone know of another person that sells antique slot parts like Dave did? I still need a couple more decals and some lock work although I may try rebuilding the lock myself after learning it wasn't all that difficult for this particular lock.
I'm not trying to sound like a a-hole either when asking for another person. We always nice conversations through e mail so I don't think I ever said anything wrong, but there's no point in me trying anymore. I'm nice to everyone!

That's great but if his e mail changed, why wouldn't have have changed his website? The "old" e mail is pasted all over http://www.mrslot1.com
Bonanza.com doesn't look like an antique slot machine parts website! I see lotions, fashions, and little planters! ???

mrslot1@aol.com is all over his website.
That was the one I tried him on many months ago, and never heard back. I know he had a one to two week response time, but this time I didn't hear from him. And I tried contacting him through his eBay listing, but heard nothing. That's when I started to be concerned.

I'm glad he's ok and around. Still odd that he's not responding to eBay messages, or regular e mail messages. Maybe he's got someone else doing that?
I don't know what to tell people on Newlifegames anymore regarding antique slot parts though: Ebay, Instagram, Web site, E mail, Bonanza, The Big Valley, Gunsmoke... :?
I try shooting him a message on Bonanza I guess. I just wanted to say hello and send him another lock for re-keying.
Thanks for the all the information.
