Hello All,

It's been awhile. My last venture into the slots world was a Bally E-1209 slot and a Double Double Bonus video poker machine. Well, I had to have me a real antique slot machine. I was at the quarterly meeting of the Antique Coin Machine Collector's Association today and there were several old machines for sale. I spotted the Columbia right away, partly because it was in my price range for a "project" and partly because it was pretty much intact. So I get it home, listen to the usual from the better half about we don't have room now and you worked on the last ones forever and.....well.....anyway :25- This one doesn't work although the club member that I bought it from says "it's all there, I just didn't put it together right". Any help with where or how to purchase a repair manual or a how-to book or parts would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.   :131- :103-

bet the seller had a big smile on his face when you bought that

 :25- :279- :8- Yes, the more I keep reading, the more I feel like the sap that bought the swamp land. :60-

we all make mistakes

So when you bring it back to the same place to sell it, you can say: "It's all there, the guy I bought it from just didn't put it together right."

Everything is going to be alright now, I bought a manual from one of the websites here. :208- :89- :52-

Hello, I have one also and have been working on it, everything works now but the one coin advance when the arm is pulled. Mine is missing a linkage part on the back near the pull arm. If there is any help I can offer please let me know, also if you think you have those parts I would like to see a modern picture of it, I only have the manuals but they don't show the linkage.

Thanks,
Andrew
