Is this for real?

I noticed this Golden Nugget machine on Craigslist

It looks a little too clean and shiny to be what it says.

Hey Randy... No it is not a real nugget......if you get a chance Dave has a section on this forum helping people identify repos and also there has been quite a bit written about the golden nugget machine. It really is a very informative essay. I think there are more golden nugget repos fakes and revamps then the casino could ever have held at one time saying you stacked them from floor to ceiling and wall to wall.

I read it a while back. I was mainly trying to determine if I could spot a fake. I am starting to learn the tells. So far I have managed not to buy any, but maybe I have just been lucky
Thanks

Yes, this is definitely one of the many FAKES. As I have said many times before, "99.9% of all Golden Maggets on
ebay, live auctions, or anywhere else, are all FAKES". There is ONE sure-fire way to tell a Fake, just from a single
front-shot photo alone, and that is the small payout cups. The 'Real Deal' goes completely across the front, and
continues down both sides. Most of the sellers that list these machines, 'Refuse' to alert anyone, as to what they
really have. Grant you, some may not know, if they got snookered when purchasing it, but most do know. One of
the typical phrases you see in descriptions is, "my father has had it since the 1980's, so I know it's real". Yeah, sure!

Interestingly enough this machine is different than most fake Golden Nuggets. It started out as a Mills, then was converted by Buckley before being converted again to the Golden Nugget as pictured. Now does that make this machine a Buckley Golden Nugget? How many fake Buckley Golden Nuggets do you have ????

Mills-Pills, Buckley-Shmuckley! Whatever they want to use, they are still FAKE MAGGETS!

Bill how about turning it into a WONKA Vendor ? Bet it would go in a heartbeat as there's not many of them around. Specially the gold ones !!!

Good idea. Perhaps we can have a discussion about your new suggestion.
But that cannot be accomplished until you decide to take your telly out of the cradle when it rings!
