I was a slot mechanic for over 25 years. The reason they would drill into the side of the machine was to stick a rod into it to stop the clock. That's the part that was spinning with the spring attached to it. If you get good at stopping and starting the clock, you can make the reels lock when you want them to. It was something done by professional cheats that would have access to a machine somewhere. You would have to know exactly where to drill, how long the rod should be and what shape, and how to use it properly.
Honest businessman, reasonable customer. Everyone comes out ok. Guy wasn’t a jerk and you were respectful, honest and apologetic. Glad it all worked out Peter.👍👍🇨🇦
Your VERY wrong … this customer WAS a jerk…. But only hidden on a phone call!!!. He wasn’t when it became a FACE to FACE situation with Peter!!!. The was a complete D-CK and it’d been hard to have been as nice as Pete was on this!!!. ☝️🙄
Honest people in business are hard to find and the fact you put this video out shows how honest you are by not hiding the information you just found out while getting this machine serviced/repaired. Honestly is the key and you handled this so well 👍 Props to the guy who bought this from you for being understanding in the end 👏
A true man can and will admit when he is wrong or has made a mistake. If the matter is significant enough to warrant an apology then a true man will also present one. In turn, a true man will accept a sincere apology. In your previous video I commended you for being a gentleman when you dealt with the disrespect and criminal intentions of a rude, vulgar, insulting and scheming drug addict. I would like to commend you again for going above and beyond. You not only chose to show all of the viewers that you were wrong, but went on to explain the details and particulars as well. You really are a gentleman and a professional. I wish you were in New York it'd be a privilege to patronise your establishment. 👍🏻
the guy he buys from knew he sold him a re-pop. He'll say he had no idea..but if that's his thing.. he would know the basics of how these things are manufactured. His man is lying to him unfortunately.
@@THE-SLAUGHTERHOUSE. So my question for you is, do you believe he sold the illegitimate merchandise knowingly and thus intentionally deceiving the customer solely for profit and due to a greedy disposition? Or do you accept that he was himself unaware and that this unfortunate matter happened unintentionally?
You’re probably the most honest and trustworthy person I’ve ever seen in the trade business! Keep being great man. Bless you, your family and your business. 🙏🏻
your a great example of a lost time a time when honesty ruled the world ,you are bringing it back 1 sale at a time .. thank you peter you set a good example for future men to follow
@@blawknoxlmao yep these people talk on about "oh he's so honest" brother I have good friends that are shop "resellers" and in order to do this business u have to master atleast 2 things 1. Good manipulation and 2. a good bullshitter and he's both..
He ended up being really cool! The shop owner learned something, the collector learned something, and we learned something! That’s what I call a jackpot!
This is exactly why I never pretend like I know it all and am always right. Its okay being wrong especially if you learned something new in the process!
That's a sign of superior intelligence. As the Dunning Kruger effect shows, people with a high IQ are leas likely to say they know something for sure and dumber people are more likely to claim they know something for sure.

@@garys.1415 if you bought a $2,500 item that was supposed to be in perfect working condition and ended up in not working condition right after you'd be pissed too. Can't blame the guy for being upset. Come to find out it was basically a fake too and guy still ended up being cool in the end. Even bought other stuff. An amicable end to a bad situation from both sides.
I had something similar happen with a local pawn shop. I bought a vintage firearm from a gentleman claiming it was over 150 years old. It looked the part and it had some paperwork. I later found out it was a recreation and was less than a decade old. I returned to the store and respectfully asked for a refund, providing evidence of its origin. Pawn shop owner didn't want to help at first, we got loud, and he kicked me out of the store, but called me back the next day, saying he didn't sleep well and wanted to make it right. We shook hands and he told me, "Money got me into this business, but my heart keeps me in it. I'm sorry I had to lose sleep before I realized my mistake."
I'd believe thats just part of the job for a pawn shop owner. They are risking to buy stuff to resell it for a higher price. Those mistakes happen to them too. From your story it sounds like the owner really believed it was a real vintage firearm. Despite him liking what he is doing he is also a kind and honest man. Thinking that I generally stay out of pawn shops despite the fact of them not being as popular in my country.
My dad ran a business for years and he said he would rather lose some money than lose a customer. I have some glass ball claw foot antique furniture that I am going to bring to you when the weather is better.
Great video. Great business ethics too. You didn't make a sale on that item but I can guarantee you that you made a permanent customer of that guy, and it looks like he doesn't mind spending money.
You thought right. This guy is certainly the exception to the rule. There are probably more like him out there, but I've been to dozens of shops from Arkansas to California and I have yet to meet one.
Kinda be hard when you blast your business online like this. Any other joe blow random pawn shop wouldn't even had offered for it to be serviced and you'd have to find out on your own you overpaid for a replica.
Any pawn shop that screwed me by selling a replica w/o giving me an option for a refund would be getting all 4 of his tires popped if I didn’t decide to fight them. Either have good morals or find out the hard way. That’s how you get rid of scam artists, not by being nice and forgiving. Luckily this owner is a real man with good morals.
Pete. You are a man of integrity, demonstrating that it's more important to do right, than to be right. I used to be a slot mechanic on the newer machines at a California casino, but I learned a few things I wasn't aware of from your having shared the knowledge you gained from this experience. Thanks for sharing.
Hello- my brother. A video of yours came up yesterday- so I watched it & now- I'm "hooked". Honesty prevails in my world & I truly find it quite refreshing just to find decent people. You're a special breed so plz keep it going. Kudos to you my brother.
Pete this just goes to show your an honest and fair business man-Ive been watching your channel for a long time and love to see honey and ruby.wheres Vicki at ?
I appreciate your business ethics and honesty. I run a cell phone repair shop in Chicago and agree with you on it. I have damaged devices on accident being in a hurry and being pressured, resulting me in replacing the part and telling them about it, or simply me buying them a brand new phone. You have to be honest and work with customers, even if you have to lose some cash. Cash will always return if you have good ethics. Customers need to be happy. I try to be as honest as possible with all my repairs and phone sales with reports and warranty for my work that I actually honor. Ill stop by sometime soon to say hello some day, I have been wanting to see your shop. Pozdrowienia z Chicago!
This comment .. yes businesses shouldn’t be scared to lose money on a bad item.. The customer would lose the money if the owner isn’t honest and take responsibility. Glad there are honest guys like you, and doesn’t use bad excuses to avoid taking a loss. Like you said, the business will always make some more money and you will have a good conscience knowing that you didn’t make a customer have a bad experience. Theres a tons of private owned businesses that try to go round and round all the loopholes and pin the issue on something else just because they can, because they don’t want to take a loss
@@droo3010 yep just had a customer come in because another shop said that "the phone is non repairable" when what really happened was they broke the lcd connector on the motherboard. No, the phone was always repairable, you just broke it more and dont know how to fix the issue and you lied to the client. Its so annoying but also I dont mind, more money in my pocket and the customers are always aware of the situation.
@@tomekzski business who does that should seriously have taken their license to open a shop. It’s basically fraud and scamming customers. If a customer steals something in a shop they get arrested and its on their record . When a business does u dirty and you find out, they just end up replacing ur item and get away with it, and able to do it again. A lot of people who just want to rip you off and does it successfully
You do amazing work! It’s so satisfying to watch the transformation. It seems like you do this from your heart, especially for those who cannot do this kind of work for themselves! Keep up the great work you are the best! There is hope for humanity with people like you in the world that care for their neighbor. You are a bright shining star in today’s world!
I know Pete was 100% sure it was real, but you have to know your stuff too if you're going to make a large purchase like that. Seems like everyone lost money but the guy who fixed it up haha
Hey Peter, you handled the situation like a Professional, says alot about the Man you are! I expect this will cause your business to grow! God bless and keep you safe!👍
I wish that there was a video with the guy fixing the machine and talking about it, it would have been very interesting just like the video where the older gentlemen fixed the accordion!!!!!!!
Great job Peter, and the customer was high character as well. Video title kind of in jest, as clearly he wouldn't sue you... he was just upset due to the amount of money and transit time spent and circumstances in the first video. Glad this worked out so that you at least will get most of your money back.
Especially when he spent $2200! I would not be happy with it not working properly to start, then, finding out it’s a replica. He was definitely more than reasonable with how he reacted to all this
Because he called the pawn shop yelling and threatening to sue instead of just speaking to him like a mature adult. Of course he was nicer when speaking in person, but that's probably because he knew that Peter won't tolerate his rudeness and there was no warranty.
You're a genuinely good person. Not only did you take it upon yourself to go get it repaired (and cover half the cost) but you were straight up and honest with the buyer when you learned it wasn't authentic. God bless you 🙏
I was right, I said that thing wasn't as old as you made out and I know nothing about slot machines (other than winning twice in a row in Macao, then losing three times in a row).
Good job 👍. Youngins pay attention. Thats called class, integrity, and honesty. All rare traits these days. I wished I lived up there so I could be a customer of your shop sir. Very good indeed. 👍👍👍
Oh I so love this show, really entertaining and you can tell the owner is really honest and genuine, loving the input from the cat and bird too. Shame you weren’t round the corner, would so enjoy visiting and seeing what you have as I’m sure I would buy something 😀
I own an auto repair shop and this situation reminds me of a situation I had a few years back. Customer spent $1100 on a catalytic converter which I could only buy aftermarket because of Covid the dealer was on back order. I had to warranty it 8 months later then just a few weeks after that again the engine light came back because it wasn’t working. The customers father called me flipping out saying we never warrantied it. I told him to calm down explained everything to him and I’ll make it right let me see if they are still on back order. Called the dealer and they were in stock. Called customer back said to bring it back I have a factory one coming. He comes with his daughter to pick the car up I showed him the receipt for the $1200 I paid for the part my cost and he apologized for flipping out on me he thought I wasn’t going to do anything about it. I said that’s not how I do business and he and his family have been customers ever since.
You showed your humility with these videos. Your a real one and you deserve all the success Peter. I salute you for that. You didn’t have to tell him nothing, as is. But you were 100% transparent and i respect that more than you could know
The sounds of that "old" slot machine are like ASMR. But can you imagine being in a casino back in the 1950's, with 100 of them all making that sound at the same time? It must have been like a car factory in there.
crazy first gambling site i signed up for was golden nugget yesterday took my free spins and cash and deleted that addiction quick. Stumbled across your videos very entertaining love the content just subscribed today.
You sir, are a good man. It's nice to see an honest businessman at work. Now more than ever, I've got to go visit your shop and purchase a few things. You are on my bucket list. I may bring you a gift from Oklahoma.
These moments come at a cost but because your an honest seller its almost like advertising your honesty good job, worth it! I wish all pawn shops operated like this!
Hey Peter you’re a good guy, you took care of your customer I am the same way with my clients I do the best I can, I’m sorry that you had to go through all that and I’m also sorry that the customer had to go through all that that’s a tough one on what’s right or what’s wrong but I think we all know what the right thing to do is👍
Hey pete and honey, they didnt drill the machine for the cash box, they stuck a wire in to fiddle the mechanism for a winning combo. Anyway you have a result.
You’re going to say the 80 year old who has spent 50+ years with slots was wrong and you know more. They absolutely drilled slot machines. They also stuck wire in to manipulate the mechanism… Anyway, you’re a knowitall that’s wrong.
It’s would of been so easy to lie and not admit to getting it wrong. Peter, I truly respect you for your honesty. I wish you all the success you deserve
a honest business man can be hard to find.. this is why we will buy from you and we love ya brother.. a small loss now could save you from a big one later.. like ya said we live and we learn... be well my friend.
Your cat is so adorable! You are a great bloke and the parrot is so naughty! Good of you to apologise to the customer. Forgetting the money involved, everybody wins in my book. ❤
It’s nice to see you doing the honorable thing and being straight with customer…… It looks a bit bad the situation but if you make it good being honest with customer and taking care of them then at least you have some redemption
I hope your business remains successful and continues to grow just from watching this video. I can tell you’re a genuinely honest businessman hope the best for you. I love watching your videos keep it up.🙏👍🏽💯🔥

Good job 👍. Youngins pay attention. Thats called class, integrity, and honesty. All rare traits these days. I wished I lived up there so I could be a customer of your shop sir. Very good indeed. 👍👍👍
It's not very respectful to condescend to younger people.
This has become my favorite youtube channel ever. Thanks for the enjoyment. From Milwaukee here - I wanna come down and spend some money. :D
I still wonder about it being 25 cents …
that seems like a lot of money for the 1940’s 🤷🏼♀️
You are such an amazing business man and so honest. That's how you stay in business and remain successful. Keep it up!
Very interesting series - i learned a lot about something I'd never have thought about!
THANKS ! 😎👍
Oh I so love this show, really entertaining and you can tell the owner is really honest and genuine, loving the input from the cat and bird too. Shame you weren’t round the corner, would so enjoy visiting and seeing what you have as I’m sure I would buy something 😀
you are defiantly a good guy. I respect you for what you did here
straight up good guy never seen a pawn shop so honest lol
I own an auto repair shop and this situation reminds me of a situation I had a few years back. Customer spent $1100 on a catalytic converter which I could only buy aftermarket because of Covid the dealer was on back order. I had to warranty it 8 months later then just a few weeks after that again the engine light came back because it wasn’t working. The customers father called me flipping out saying we never warrantied it. I told him to calm down explained everything to him and I’ll make it right let me see if they are still on back order. Called the dealer and they were in stock. Called customer back said to bring it back I have a factory one coming. He comes with his daughter to pick the car up I showed him the receipt for the $1200 I paid for the part my cost and he apologized for flipping out on me he thought I wasn’t going to do anything about it. I said that’s not how I do business and he and his family have been customers ever since.
Pete, you are a very honest man! I like the way you handle things!
Was this the same day the other customer gave you abuse with the fake Nike's?? WHAT A DAY in the shop.
Nicely handled, Peter. Respect all around.
You should do a class on customer service. Truly a master at work at dealing with a difficult situation.
You showed your humility with these videos. Your a real one and you deserve all the success Peter. I salute you for that. You didn’t have to tell him nothing, as is. But you were 100% transparent and i respect that more than you could know
just keep being you you are a good man and you did the right thing
Love the follow up. Thanks for that. Learning from our mistakes helps us grow.
he did nothing wrong
The sounds of that "old" slot machine are like ASMR. But can you imagine being in a casino back in the 1950's, with 100 of them all making that sound at the same time? It must have been like a car factory in there.
Very Honorable. Much respect
crazy first gambling site i signed up for was golden nugget yesterday took my free spins and cash and deleted that addiction quick. Stumbled across your videos very entertaining love the content just subscribed today.
You made a good choice. Nothing good can come from gambling sites.
I have to stop in live just north of Crystal Lake and did not even know you were there. Thanks for your honesty.
Chicago people are some of the most honest people I know. Unfortunately the politician's don't represent the populace, and give Chicagoans a bad rap.
So glad I found this channel. Your episodes are awesome! Better than any show on TV!!! I hope you will continue to film in your store!
You sir, are a good man. It's nice to see an honest businessman at work. Now more than ever, I've got to go visit your shop and purchase a few things. You are on my bucket list. I may bring you a gift from Oklahoma.
I have so much respect for good honest people.
You earned a sub. We all need to support people with integrity.
I would want to buy this machine in a heartbeat!
Both honest guys doing great business ❤
I wish your business was located close to me, I for sure would do business with you. You're a good man, Peter.
Well done to you. Much respect ❤️
You're a honest man Peter, great business and you know your stuff.
You did the right thing Peter!!! Will you come to my yard sale in the spring!!!!
These moments come at a cost but because your an honest seller its almost like advertising your honesty good job, worth it! I wish all pawn shops operated like this!
You did the right thing Peter. We are all constantly learning. Sometimes you have to bite the bullet.
Way you handled that has probably earned you a customer for life!
Hey Peter you’re a good guy, you took care of your customer I am the same way with my clients I do the best I can, I’m sorry that you had to go through all that and I’m also sorry that the customer had to go through all that that’s a tough one on what’s right or what’s wrong but I think we all know what the right thing to do is👍
You are right Pete when you are wrong you have to do the right thing. Pete you are a gentleman.
I like the way u do business strait and honest.
Hey pete and honey, they didnt drill the machine for the cash box, they stuck a wire in to fiddle the mechanism for a winning combo. Anyway you have a result.
You’re going to say the 80 year old who has spent 50+ years with slots was wrong and you know more. They absolutely drilled slot machines. They also stuck wire in to manipulate the mechanism… Anyway, you’re a knowitall that’s wrong.
You are truly a mensch for being honest and refunding his money. Enjoy your videos.
It’s would of been so easy to lie and not admit to getting it wrong. Peter, I truly respect you for your honesty. I wish you all the success you deserve
a honest business man can be hard to find.. this is why we will buy from you and we love ya brother.. a small loss now could save you from a big one later.. like ya said we live and we learn... be well my friend.
That's a proper businessman - well done Sir
Your cat is so adorable! You are a great bloke and the parrot is so naughty! Good of you to apologise to the customer. Forgetting the money involved, everybody wins in my book. ❤
I don't know how Peter keeps his cool. Dealing with the pubic isn't easy. First word coming in"woof, what a long drive".....so much bs
I just get happy inside when I watch your videos Pete :) If I were to work for anyone, it would be Pete for sure. I'd love work so much.
It’s nice to see you doing the honorable thing and being straight with customer……
It looks a bit bad the situation but if you make it good being honest with customer and taking care of them then at least you have some redemption
As a Texan, 2 hours is not a long ride.
I hope your business remains successful and continues to grow just from watching this video. I can tell you’re a genuinely honest businessman hope the best for you. I love watching your videos keep it up.🙏👍🏽💯🔥
