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!
