Might be worth that in CA and a couple other places, but slant tops go cheaper than that most places

Hey Lyzard!

Hmmm ... I suppose it depends on whether it's worth a drive to the Las Vegas and surrounding Arizona area ... they go for $300 - $500 in this area.  14 hour drive?

An asking price of $1500 has absolutely no relevance to the value. Usually these have a substantially lower asking price in California.  I troll CL constantly and laugh out loud when I see "THE REAL DEAL" and they think they will get thousands of dollars for an old slot machine or, worse yet, a pachislo skill stop that they call a "real slot machine." I'd just watch it and see how long it stays on CL. Usually, they re-list and lower the price or add OBO.

I've been selling slant tops like this one for a hundred bucks, just to get rid of them. That's with a super board.

I got mine for $200 and it needed work would love to get a real type machine

but they are hard to find here in Ca

i lost a big deal in jan ,  because there was 25% slants in it  and all the do  is take up space on the trailers which shipping on is already killing me  at 40 to 50 bucks a game from out west for slants that =80 to a 100 to ship, and we  rarely have anyone want one , right now we have 2,  a williams  money to burn 700  and game maker at 600  selling both at a slight loss  but still no takers

The uprights are much prettier in the mancave, but a serious video poker player prefers a slant top. IMO
The problem with IGT slants is that they are so heavy and have no wheels to easily move them.
Gonna toot my horn a little here, Universal put two wheels on the bottom rear of their slants and two handles on the back. Just tilt and roll, easy to move. Need to add that mod to my gameking.

On the price, a lot of folks bought machines 10-15 years ago for top dollar as they were harder to find. Now they find out those styles are a dime a dozen.

 :212-  As a VP player, I agree that slant tops are much more comfortable than uprights, but I don't have one for all the reasons you listed.

That's because slot machine owners are retarded, anyone that's played a slant top know that they are much more comfortable to play. ( why are 75% of the video poker machines in a casino slant tops ) ??

Jim You beat me to most I was going to say.

To move a slant close to a wall or away from a wall I use a couple of pieces of PVC pipe under the machine and just roll it in or out, and then remove the pipe.

Jim are you coming to the drawing ??

Pvc pipe is a good idea Buzz.

Yes, I should be there.

You need to come to Southern California...look on CL...there's TONS of them here...cheap as can be. You must be in an isolated area!

am up in Fort Bragg Ca. would love to but i am Disabled and don't drive
