Found this creation on ebah , looks like the work of the Vegas butcher !
Looks like senility has set in . The award card and reel strips this is probably some of the worst to date .

This is not one of the Vegas Butchers creations, but apparently someone that attended one of his classes.
A shame that some clown drilled holes in the front of the case, to mount that original Mills award card,
and frame. It also appears that the Butcher is interested in making it worse than it already is, as he is the
current top bidder at $555.55. Hopefully one of our Forum members will keep this out of his grimy claws.

No telling what is under that award card . Could be someone punched a hole through it to break in .

Here is another clue to the Vegas Butchers long line of Bastardized creations.
It is an original "Gem" name-plate, that he removed to make one of his many Fake "Bar Boys",
that he has Snookered many uneducated buyers with.

Machine back on ebay

Yes, it's back, but holes have been repaired by the current owner. The best part of it all,
is that the three center reel strips were saved. Someone had lightly glued & crimped a
series of fruit symbols over the good original poker strips. The owner was able to remove
them, without harm to the originals. Lucky-Saves like this, do not happen often.

Gumball mechanism is missing a few parts.

You may be right, as I didn't pay any attention to that. But after a close look at the
pics, it does appear to have something in there. The bent tab for the rear of the gum
chute looks to be there, and that is the most important part. The rest is simple. The
gum vender parts in these machines, are more simple than say, the Daval models,
which have several parts.
If any of our members are truly interested in this machine, ask the seller to test the
gum vender. He doesn't have to be a gum chewer to do this, as he has purchased many
colored marbles to use in display windows, so he can try it with a couple of those. He
is a member of this Forum, but from what he said recently, I don't think he follows all
the postings, and may have the 'notify feature' disabled.

To the person who is selling this machine : It sure would be nice to see a close up shot of your repair work in your ehay ad .

[ I CANNOT BELIEVE that an advanced COLLECTOR WOULD NOT BUY it FOR $99 OR $150. IT IS A GREAT
CURIOUSITY piece, that would recieve many comments on a shelf. And create much conversation. Creativity HAS TRANSPORTED SOME
INTENSE IMMAGINATION. I ACTUALLY LOVED IT, and how it orchestrated and the variety of parts into one. I would have been thrilled
to own it .Most of his other machines were real junk, this was truly his master pieces. (I have been collecting sinced 1979, am not
senile yet.) All creatvity and beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
