About 6 months ago I got a call from someone who wanted me to restore something for them. Obviously I couldn't say no to a piece like this, but it was pretty daunting. It took me months to finish restoring this slot machine, but it's finally done and edited.
Anyway, I learned a lot restoring this old slot machine and I'm really happy I took this challenging project on. There will be a part 2 coming up pretty soon here that focuses solely on the restoration of the mechanism inside. It turned out to be way too much to cram into one video. I have almost 1tb of footage stored on my server for this project alone...

You're right, "every single tiny little screw and piece had to go back together" as intended for the machine to function properly. I love technical videos like this b/c it points out one clear fact; that in some arenas you can't simply invent your own means, and/or ignore the truth w/o consequences. That fact is no more *true and crucial* than the eternal consequences of ignoring Gods warnings re: mocking Jesus Christ. I hope you consider this "truth."

@@XMarkxyz In the late 70's I took Drafting in VoTech School my Junior and Senior year. Our teacher was a retired Draftsman from Lockheed. We started with the basics. By the end of the two years any kid in that class could layout a gear tooth profile or a thread profile. We learned the basics. I got back into it in the mid 90's when it had changed to computers. All I needed was to learn how to make the computer software do what I wanted it to do. My first CAD instructor, took a 3D CAD class with me and I ended up tutoring her. All a computer does is to speed up changes and repetive tasks. If you don't know what you are drawing a computer isn't going to help you.

Brings back some really wonderful childhood memories. I spent many hours with my grandfather at the antique fairground he hobbied at... the machines there ran on 2 pence pieces for the most part - some were 1p and a precious few were a whole 5p! I never did quite figure out what the blue fruits are. Perhaps they’re plums, faded by age? I’ll never know. Just seeing this unrestored machine brought a happy smile to my face, I’ve yet to watch the video through. Let’s see whether your restoration surpasses my grandfather’s!

You get respect for not showing the restored piece in the thumbnail, thank you for having this video be a long form video without too many cuts I pray you don't get demonetized, I clicked on this video because I knew how many small components are in slot machine which would be most satisfying to watch.

@@varrjames186 Hi, I don't mind being corrected. I like to get my spelling correct when I can. My use of grammar is a whole other question. As it turns out "chute" is a more common spelling but "shute" is also used. Maybe the reason for the variation is that I am an Australian english speaker and we have evolved our own dialects. When people learn English as a second language in England or North America they are often confounded by the different language in Oz. Bewdy! Cheers Mate

Wow, what a project! These machines were state-of-the art for their time. They were not toys. They were designed to function through 100k's of spins, and even had rudimentary features to deter cheaters. My grandfather had a similiar one in his tavern. He used to give me a handful of nickels to play it, and I could keep what I won, unless I hit the jackpot, which went back into the till! I had one of these apart once, and from the number of symbols vs the paytable, I worked out that the machine held about 30% for the house!

It was a constant technical battle between the cheaters and the operators--who sometimes had a few tricks of their own. This one has a wooden case without the hanging or floating armor plates to deter drilling. See Scarne's "Complete Guide to Gambling" (1961) or Ortiz, "Gambling Scams" (1984).

Back in my pinball machine days, the coin acceptor would test diameter, thickness, weight and magnetism, in that order. The magnet might be missing, it was optional in countries where iron might be used in legit coins. In the US, we had steel pennies during WWII to save copper. Maybe it was a penny machine upgraded to nickels but they had removed the magnet during WWII? A penny in 1933 would be the equivalent of 15¢ today.

I'm sure other people have realized this, but I think part of the appeal of restoration videos or anything where something gets taken apart, is that you feel the stress of personally needing to put it back together and then someone else does it instead. When he breaks something down into as far as possible, it seems impossible that it will go back together, but it always does.
