I don't know of any publication that has slot machine values. I would value them around $500, but they could be worth more in your area.. From my experience taller machines are harder to sell.. Do all the lights work on the dual progressive?

not sure about all lights, I think I had a post about some of the lights that I weren't on, some one said they may have something to do with progressive.  I'll try to get out there and play it and see if I can figure anything out
thanks

Should be one at least one florescent and bulbs at the arrows pointing at the progressive jackpot that can be won. Should also have bulbs showing coins played. Everything else would light up if the JP is hit.

IMHO value depends on a wide variety for these games.  1 Location.  In the South west where machines are more common you may not be able to get $300 for either of those games .  I live in the New York City area where the prices are slightly higher for a 100% working game.  2.  Rarity.  The smaller one looks like a 742 with a nice original topper.  Still it is a boring 1 coin 1 pull game that would attract the entry collector, nostalgia buff,  or parts guy/gal.  3.  Condition.  Both games look nice for their age.  No broken glass that I can see.  Gary is right about the tall games.  They are hard to move literally and physically. 


In all I concur with Gary that your friend should take the first $1000 that he/she can get for both games and run like the wind.  Honestly I doubt that a grand will even be offered. $600 would be my guess as a starting bid from someone who wants to play and enjoy the machines.


My opinions are free and worth every penny.  Best of luck!
