Well I loved the fact that it was totally mechanical and thought I should restore it.
Now hmmm what to I do with the slot machine. Well she played it for hours every day and finally after 2 weeks she got board and the best part is she had no impulse to go and play the ones at the pub either so she was cured.fantastic. When she finished them I would open it and give her another $20 worth. Well I filled it up with 5 cent pieces and gave my wife about $20 worth of 5 cent pieces. The machine was an old Aristocrat 5 cent totally mechanical 3 reel unit and cost me $250. We I managed to find a 1960's machine with a 4 ft stand. I had the idea of buying an old slot machine and putting it in the house for her to play. This was beginning to cause me some serious problems an I had to think of doing something before I was bankrupted. She would head down to the local pub and spend $20 to $30 a day. More than 20 years ago I married a young lady from Asia and of course she soon found that the local pubs had an abundance of slot machines.
Hi all, where do I start hmmm how about at the beginning.
