JOHN CALER

[Midcoast Vintage]

Many of us "old timers" knew john caler, was the second owner / publisher of the coin slot.
he bought it from les druyan, and then sold it to bill harris.
john was quite an innovator.
many of you have seen ROBBY, the talking robot slot machine, and, the talking pirate slot machine (which was made to look like john's oldest son mark), well, john caler made those.
anyway, he was also an actor, and, appeared in several films.
below is a link to some information on him, that is incomplete, but, lists most of the films he was in.
one that is not listed, is "REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE".
John was in that one. he was one of the kids in the gang scene at the planetarium.
john was a great friend.
i would stay with him when i went to the loose change fun fair, and when i would go to los angeles with truck loads of slot machines back in the 80's.
he, and, his family were warm and kind people.
Those who knew him may find this interesting.

Hi,
Speaking of John Caler.....Did he have a son named Damion? Just wondering because some time ago I was scammed by a Damion Caler on a slot deal for a considerable amount of money.

Here we go .... keep us informed .... the hunt is on ... Payback is hell ... and deserved. Good luck ...

[TheFatman]

What am I thinking ... to forgive is divine I have been taught. So after he reimburses you what he owes you ... and any loss in the increase in value you had lost too .... then i think you can forgive him. otherwise ... still, payback is hell ... only for him. i dont like to use the word ... but I hate people like that.

The deal was....in June of 1999 Damion got my down payment of $340.00, (not a great amount, I thought that it was more than that)as a deposit on 3 slots....a 25 cent Castle Front, a 25 cent Roman Head and a 25 cent Horse Head Bonus. He got the money and all I got was....the shaft! All I can say is, he is a "LOOSER"! He has no conscience.
He deserves whatever he gets. BEWARE!

Does anyone know what happened to John Caler? Any idea where all of his parts went ? He was a early pioneer of the slot machines business and had tons of parts.
Any recent damian sightings. I remember he was always with Jack Brink
