Caill book wanted

[briank]

Looking for a book for a caille slot machine that includes a sphinx so I have some point of reference to work on my machine. Thanks

Brian:
The only book with detailed info on the Caille "Sphinx", will be Coin Slot Guide #3, By the late Dick Bueschel,
as shown below. This is from a series of 34 Guides, which he published several years ago. There was originally
100 Guides scheduled, but other book projects held up the continuation of the rest. Occasionally these Guides
show up on eBay, but I think your best chance is to contact Roger Hilden, at Crow River Trading, as he has a
large selection of most coin-op books. Go to his website at (http://www.crowriver.com).

Thanks Bill. Do you know if anybody reproduces the diagram for inside the back door? So far Im flying blind on this slot as its missing the original door.

Brian If your asking about an original or even a repro manual for the pump models I have yet to see one in 40yrs in the hobby. To date the only Caille manual to surface is for the Superior model. I did have a manual for the jackpot coin feeder unit for Caille but it went to Dick Bueschel to be reprinted, but he passed before it was done and rests in his archives where ever they are now. These are all that there is so far. Maybe one will turn up after someone reads this post?

Brian:
Not sure if anyone has reproed the back door paper for Caille as yet. The only ones available, are Mills, Jennings, Watling, and Pace.
Most original back door papers become tattered over the years, but perhaps someone has a nice Caille example that they can post here.

Hi. www.coinslots.com has two manuals available for download. One for the Caille Superior ($17.95) and the other for the Caille Silent Sphinx and Superior ($19.95). Apparently you pay the fee
and then you can download and print your own copies. These may help with some of your issues. Robert

Hi. For at least a close-up image of back door instructions google Caille Slot machine. Scroll images for an old offering from Bradford's Antiques for a nice group of
pictures of a machine they sold (pictures 18 & 19 show the instructions). Caille Superior Jackpot 5-cent. Robert

Fyi found The coin slots 3 book on amazon finally. I think there were five available from the same seller if there are any Caille guys looking for one.
