Owner's Pictorial Guide For The Care And Understanding Of The Jennings Bell Slot Machine: The puzzling complexity of the Jennings slot machine has led to the most comprehensive work ever published about any mechanical slot machine. This gigantic book is specifically directed to the owner of any three-reel Jennings bell slot machine manufactured after 1931 with the exception of the LITTLE DUKE. However, the reader will find that work on most other Jennings machines manufactured prior to 1932 can be managed successfully. Over 450 photographs are accompanied by step-by-step instructions for all routine maintenance operations as well as complete disassembly, overhaul, lubrication, assembly and theory of operation. With this volume and a few simple tools you will be able to analyze and correct nearly all of the problems you may encounter with your machine. This second printing of the popular first edition contains an extensive table of contents and introductory material. Over 450 photographs, 163 pages. 8 3/8' x 10 7/8', perfect bound with attractive full color, plastic-coated soft cover.
In this final segment I have the reel mechanism removed to show how the machine works to select the wins and losses. I have been sitting on an older slot machine with some issues for a few years now. Basically an old friend passed away and I was able to buy it from his estate sale. It doesn't work properly, and now that I have some more room in my house, I want to get it out of storage and start looking at what I can do to make it work again.

BEGINNERS GUIDE - SLOT MACHINE BOOK
Slot Machines - Buyers Price Guide £9.95
Essential reading for the first time buyer. This recent publication lifts the lid on the world of slot machine collecting. The book is primarily for the beginners to this hobby of buying vintage mechanical devices, One Arm Bandits. The idea behind the publication was to allow 'new blood' to be informed about buying a gem and not a turkey, paying a reasonable price and not being 'done' by an unscrupulous seller.

If you are a seasoned collector of slots, then the buyers guide part of the book will probably be of little interest, but it was not written with you in mind! But as the author states in the book that we've all been 'beginners' at some time, and like anything you buy for the first time, knowledge is key. Buying a vintage machine is always difficult because the information is not often readily available, so this guide book gives a short history of gambling machines, the various manufacturers, the things to consider when buying and most importantly a guidance of price you can expect to pay based purely on past sale prices. The book does stress the fact that like all things we buy, the price guide is purely that... a guide price.
The book is filled with full colour pictures of the machines and covers the most common slots you are likely to encounter for sale. It does not attempt to list every device ever made, this would be several thousand different varieties.
The book also has chapters on servicing hints and tips for both Slot Machines and Allwins, there's a pictorial guide on how a One Arm Bandit works, and copious amount of advice from veteran collectors.
Highly recommended for the 1st time buyer, and a great read for anyone who loves anything mechanical and vintage. Help support Slot Collecting by recommending the book and encourage 'new blood' in to this hobby.
