Greetings from Vegas

[Dave]

Well, I am in Vegas. Spent most of the afternoon looking at the machines and taking detailed photos for the people who wanted me to look at a particular machine. I have emailed those photos off and given you my opinion.

Lots of three reelers and quite a few uprights.

The Caille Roulette is a really nice all original machine. If you have been looking for one then this one is one that you should go after. It will be interesting to see what it brings. Maybe we should have a contest to see who can guess the closest.

Here are some photos of the 3 reelers. There are a lot of them and I am guessing some bargains are to be had.

Great pictures and a great service to coin-op hobby if this doesn't get some of those earnest collectors juices flowing they must be well you know. Thanks Dave.

Well, it is Saturday night. I am at Vegas airport waiting for return flight. Airports deserted because of the big fight tonight.

Auction was well attended. I am not an arcade guy but seems like a lot of the arcade brought really good prices.

I think a new world record was set for a Caille Roulette. The final price was $295,000.

The two machines I am interested in are being sold on Sunday so I will have to do a phone in bid on them.

I will post further thoughts about the auction later this week.

You can go to Morphy's website and see the price on the items right as they close (or register to online bid and bid while the item is being auctioned). You can also sort by price if you want to find the Roulette quickly.
