Hello.
Just found this place and not sure where to start. I live in Canada and at an auction last week, my wife and I bought two funky looking console slot machines (at least I think that's what they're called) that we were told are from the 50s or 60s. One actually still works. It takes nickels and is called "Keeney's Summertime". It doesn't seem to pay out in coins when you win (a counter on the console clicks higher, maybe some kind of credits?).
The other machine looks older. It says "Circus Wagon Wheel" on it and it lights up, but doesn't seem to work. We did get a small puff of smoke from it and a nasty sounding electrical sound. It looks like it needs the relays and contact points cleaned. Any advice on doing this? Are user manuals available? We know very little, other than we think the machines are cool looking.
Thanks for any advice.
