Slot Mechanism Restoration (Slot Machine Part 2)

  • Well, I finally finished editing this restoration. I tried to cut it down as much as possible and it still ended up being almost an hour long, so I decided to split it into another (short) third slot machine restoration part. The third part will only cover the restoration of the reel mechanism (the part that spins) and show the process of creating the new reel paper in slightly more detail.
    These things take a really long time to edit, but I apologize that it took me so long. I've been spending a lot of time in the shop the past couple months working on creating more Jeep content. That stuff should be coming soon™. I've got 4 Jeep restoration videos recorded and will be releasing them 1 by 1 as soon as they are done being edited.

    Don’t worry about the delay. The attention to detail shows. This is a complex mechanism. It’s really cool what you can build with just gears, sprockets, cams, wheels, tangs, springs, levers, and a bunch of screws. The design of these was state of the art back in its day. I wonder what a new one cost and how long it took to get a return on your investment. Thanks for filming and posting these!

    Watching this makes me think of the enormous complexity of these machines. Someone had to sit at a drafting table and put the design to paper. I cannot imagine how long it would have taken back in the 1930s to design, engineer and build a machine like this. Amazing engineering. I also wonder if the designers could have envisioned that nearly 100 years later, someone would be restoring it.
