Manix Slot

[oldgeiser1]

Does anyone have any information on this little beauty?
Found a picture online of one named the "New Manix" with the same paytable
but it held credits, this one has a hopper and it works.  Obviously has the
Panascope like the old Keeny machines and a hold feature.  Can't find any
other information online.  Value?

Howdy,
  Its circa was the later 1960s. It was made in Japan and the first time I saw them was in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The public did not accept them and the machines were pulled from the casino's .
All the machines were totally destroyed as the company did not want them to go to Reno or the public.

Value most likely not a lot, since parts and schematics or any information is available. Loose Change Magazine did a article on the Manix  and I am sure you could learn a lot on the machine. I do not know the issue.
How ever Loose Change sells on eBay a C.D. with all issues they published . I suggest getting the disc.
I always thought it was a very neat little machine to own. Though I never found one.
 Hope this helps you.

Chief,
Thanks for the info.  I will pass it on to the owner.
This machine was recently found on a basement shelf
of one of the oldest downtown casinos here in Vegas.
The slot director thinks it was a salesman's sample that
was never picked up, but that was way before his time, 
so it is just speculation.
