Slot Machine Depot

Does anyone know if this business is ongoing?

I have tried to make contact three times in the last 6 months by Email, which is my prefered way of conversing. However, I have yet to have any response.

The site appears to be up to date, and does say "Best to email or txt any enquiries!"

Hopefully attached some photos otherwise the following questions may be a lost cause. There is no key. ...

I have been on the lookout for something to sit my Bandit on. I know we Humans come in all shapes, sizes and heights, but I was wondering if there is such a thing as a standard height? !PUZZLED!

Re: Nearly got it!

I had a similar problem with my hi-top. I took mech out of case and found the safety slide was preventing payment. This didn't happen when 5 coins were paid as the weight of 5 coins ensured they dropped. But with two coins they held up, sometimes dropping later. I filed open the aperture on the saf...
