The machines actually a 1993 model....its going well and the screen is very crisp has very little sign of screen burn ...it came from a West Auckland New Zealand bar known as 'shooters bar'  from the documentation recovered it spent a littleover 3 years at this bar..Where it went from there I am not sure the person I recently purchased it from had it for some time but was unable to get it fully working as they had no keys and didnt want to pull the locks....its up to 13000 +.. plays since a royal flush and from playing it ...it is a tight  payer ..... the photo of the machine has not captured the bottom window accurately the signage is very clean and features 2 pistols ......I was tempted to have a look at re-plating the gold plate ...but have decided to keep it as is ..original... i have removed lightly the surface rust and given it a very light coat of grease inside and out ...I will play it for a while then store itHave posted pics ...the machine pic does not show the units light tower fitted ..it was taken when i was working on it...now im on the hunt for another slot project....
