Who is the resident on call trade stimulator guru?

[Richard13]

I bought several machines while in the hospital last week and they are showing up and some waiting for me when I got home last night. Of course I have a few questions about the care and feeding of them and would rather ask than learn by trial and error and break something in the process. Common machines nothing to exotic so if you are knowledgable or can recommend another member that is please let me know THANKS!

Richard:
Haa! Very funny! That's the name that Dick Bueschel tagged me with, many years ago.
Yes Richard, I am always here to help, as I think that I conveyed during our recent phone chat.
Glad to hear that you are back home, and hopefully doing much better. Will be giving you a ring
in the next couple of days. Have to go round-up the cattle now!
Cheers, Bill

Another machine came today and I needed to hit the bank for some rolls of dimes. I asked for hand rolled hoping for a nice mix of years. Bought several rolls from Chase $5 bucks a roll, all silver! Sometimes even a blind squirrel finds an acorn lol! Now I need to go buy more dang it.

Trading a roll tomorrow for 45 rolls of wheat pennies for my new to me trade stimulators! Can't put copper plated zink stuff in them. I read that somewhere in care and feeding of penny stims lol.

My phone is not disconnected. Perhaps you were dialing the other house, where we last chatted, which I am not at now.
You have to be somewhat Quick, to catch up with me. I move around a lot. Although not as fast, any more.

On your machine above, you are missing the tin roll-down tray, and gumball guide casting, as well as the back plate that
holds the gumballs from falling out the back, when the door is removed. We'll chat more about that later.
Incidentally, I got the photos of the 3 machines you asked me to look at. The "Whirlwind" appears to be all original, but
the issue with it, is the corrosion on the back door, and even worse on the base, which many times will not smooth out
with bead-blasting. And that's looking at fuzzy photos. Very iffy! The "Puritan Girl" is nicely polished, but has been painted
with all incorrect colors, except for the girls on the sides. What I can see of the partially-hidden "Midget", I would have to
see better shots of the entire case. But from what I can see now, it is not an early Fey example, but is the later version by
Mills Sales. This machine was highly copied by several manufacturers over the years. Customers have ordered Fey "Midget"
front cards from me, to put in their non-Fey machines, which they hope automatically transforms it into a true Fey.
Not that easy, as there are other ways to tell if it is or not. It's sort of like all the people that are selling those imported
English and French Caille "Commercial" counter wheels, and calling them a 50c or 25c "Ben Hur". They Never were, and
Never will be. A real Caille "Ben Hur", has an entirely different case, which is the biggest difference. As it is not as tall as
the foreign examples, and different wood. The castings are similar, but not exact. The mechanism has differences as well,
including the large 1d penny, that they like to call 50c, because they fit, and work. But the payouts are off, because of
the difference in thickness. Only the two-coin pay is correct. The rest will short you a coin or two. Someone is selling two
of them on eBay now, and one has an uggly home-made case, with no coin head. Gimmie-A-Break!
