Cherry Restorations Tel: (410) 459-0043 Email: fdebaugh@verizon.net
From the site: We sell a limited number of original, vintage slot machines. This is a hobby and as collectors we don't buy low and sell high to make our mortgage money. This is not a full time business and we can price and sell accordingly, as collectors. We buy what we like, collect and occasionally sell some nice pieces. Any machine you see offered for sale or trade here is owned and currently in our possession, how else can you correctly authenticate, grade or service a vintage mechanical slot machine? Also keep in mind that we know how to properly adjust, repair and tune the various makes and models of antique slot machines. They all leave with the correct parts, fully and correctly functioning. Ready to be played.
