The Acme "Roulette" is a 1960 production. I had one years ago in like-new condition. They are fun to play, but I grew tired of it in a short span,
and off'd it. They also take up as much room as a Pinball. The one that sold at auction for $6,000 was way out-of-line, in my estimation. Maybe
$2,000 at most, in excellent working condition, unless you are really in love with it. Plus, you have to be electrically inclined to work on it.
I know my limits, and have stayed strictly with mechanical machines, with very few exceptions. I am down to less than 1/2 doz. electro-mechanicals,
and they will all be going soon, as I need the room. If anyone is interested, the first to move, is a Raven 25c "Keno", out of Harrah's Club, with the
Harrah's marquee. Very few of these were made, and I don't know of many survivors. The other is a Dale Electronics 25c "Dice" (crapshooter). This
machine was new, and purchased from a person that worked at Dale, and was in his home, (never on location). It came with an extra transformer,
and a box with a complete extra set of circuit boards. Anyone with serious interest, PM me for all details.
