I had the opportunity to visit Dave Berten in Chicago !
Dave is a very professional and reliable person who will always do the best to satisfy the customers.

I guess if the website was improved he will probably be the world number one for slot machine parts !!

Many thanks

This machine is "LES PETITS CHEVAUX" (the little horses) by NAU - 1913.
You can see a restored one there: https://web.archive.org/web/20160321094 ... ux_265.htm
