Expertise

I'm an expert on coin operated machines. I can answer questions on slot machines, gumball & peanut machines, jukeboxes, arcade machines, pinball machines, gambling machines and any other device that operates with a coin. I have a couple hundred machines in my collection and have seen hundreds of others while traveling across the country and going to antique shows. I can give an appraisal on your item, but please send a picture if possible so I can give you accurate information. You can send pictures to me at buck@nvc.net

Experience in the area

I've been a serious collector for many years. Many of my machines can be viewed on my website. www.chadscoinop.com

Chad, I have seen the Dale Gun machine sell for a few hundred up to several hundred. Condition is a big factor in the value. It is hard to give a specific price without pictures, but that should give
