How to Unjam an Antique Slot Machine
We currently do not have any DVDs in stock
We do have the thumb drives in stock
Be sure and select the type of media that you want.
Any computer or Mac will be able to read the thumb drive.
Before you order please send me an email to verify they are still in stock. I don't always update the availability as promptly as I should. If they are not available I will put you on the list and hold what you want (no obligation). Once they arrive I will let you know and you can then decide.
Due to demand, we will probably not be getting in any more DVDs. If you want a DVD let me know and I will consider ordering another batch.
If the availability indicates they are not in stock let me know that you want to reserve a set and I will let you know when they are in. You are never under any obligation to purchase them once they come in. Be sure and specify if you want DVDs or thumb drives.
As you probably know, there are very few people around who know how to repair or unjam an antique slot machine. If you do find someone then it is a hassle to either get the machine to them or convince them to come to the machine. In either case, it will probably cost at least $75.
While most antique slot machines are very reliable, they are 100% mechanical. It is not a matter of if they will jam, only a matter of when. In addition, Murphy's Law states the machine will jam at the least opportune time (like just before a party).
Based on all the calls and email that I get regarding jammed slot machines, I thought it might be useful to produce some videos on how to unjam some of the more common styles of antique slot machines. Describing how to do it in an email or over the phone can be very difficult. It is much easier to SHOW you how to do it.
By popular request, all of the videos are available on a single DVD.
The following machines are covered:
Not only do I show how to fix most common jams. I also show how to remove the mechanism from the case, cycle the mechanism outside the case, and put the mechanism back in the case. The only tool required is a screw driver. The types of machines that are shown cover over 90% of the antique slot machines that are still in existence.
The price of the DVD is $39.95 + $4.95 (shipping & handling). If you would like to order one, please send me an email to confirm they are still available. Payment is via PayPal only.
Current promotion: You can get the unjam DVD for only $15 if you order it along with the 5 DVD set which documents the complete restoration of a Mills Castle Front slot machine. Go to here for more information.
Unconditional Guarantee: If you order and decide to return it, then I will refund the entire purchase price (except the $4.95 shipping/handling) if returned within 30 days of receipt. To date, not a single person has asked for their money back. Refunds will be via PayPal so you must have a PayPal account (free and easy to setup).
Attention: Please see above for availability. If you want to order the DVD set, please send me (Dave@IBuyOldSlots.com) an email.to see if they are available or when they are expected to be available again. If you want them and they are not available then I will reserve a set for you and notify you when they come in. You are under no obligation to buy them once they come in.
If you have contacted me and confirmed they are available then you may order them here.
NOTE: If you are purchasing a slot machine from a dealer or a store then ask them to throw in this DVD for free. Many reputable dealers buy these DVDs from me and then give one to their customers for free. It actually saves them money because you won't be calling them to fix minor jams. If your dealer is unaware of this DVD then send them to my web site (www.IBuyOldSlots.com).
