I entered the serial number. Thanks a lot. 

Glad it worked for you.  My entries aren't showing up and I know I entered multiple machines. I'll have to contact their admin. Unfortunately that website is not well maintained anymore but it's full of great information on antique slots. Member Monti (Dave) took the lead there frequently but passed away a few years ago. He was here on NLG as well... wonderful man! He lived in Quincy California, another city wayyyyyyyy up there that I had never heard of. He and his wife did old time historic re-enactments of 1800's Western events. He restored and repaired all antique and EM slot machines in his shop as well and had an extensive amount of parts.

Sorry David I'm hijacking your thread! But Monti was really an amazing man.

Monti and I were friends, we had some great conversations, he had a lot of parts that I ordered.

I would think that the Nevada gaming board would likely keep a list of serial numbers of all the slots at least in Nevada.
Getting access to that might not be easy. I doubt that the Mills and slots from that era would have been tracked.
Anyone know someone on the gaming commission that could perhaps confirm or deny ? or better yet give us a dump of the database.

Conversely the manufacturers would probably have their own databases of who they sold what to whom but it likely would be missing the detail like we want.
Ie 926 machines sold to MGM Holdings Ltd. MGM holds at least 8 properties in Vegas alone and which machine landed where would likely not be detailed.

It would be awesome to find out a slot machine history. I have been able to verify three of my slot machines used by Las Vegas casinos.

I'm working on the table for the slot machine. The cabinet is built, 2 Mills locks are installed, 1st coat of black paint. Still more work to be done.
The cabinet is important to house all of my research on the machine.
