1114 candle!

[David Walz]

  I just got the candle in the mail today from Alan at K-LAR, it's awesome. He still has some EM slot machine parts.
This is for my 1114 $1 Slot machine.
The light cover is new, a really nice one, and it will look awesome (however I do like the old battle weary light covers to match the old machine).
Since Monti passed away, the EM parts have become more scarce, however all of my EM slot machines are 100% complete now, so it's only maintenance from now on......

Sort of hijacking your post, but it's half on topic.

Regarding Monti... it's such a shame that he passed. I don't think many people here realized how important he was in the slot field, specializing in antique slots but also in EM and other earlier machines. I wonder what happened to his shop and the HUGE amount of inventory he had. He sent me photos in the past and there were numerous cabinets/drawers FILLED with all sorts of parts.
He was never the same after his wife died. He would reply to me but he wasn't posting on the coin op forum much.
I have this horrible feeling he may have taken his own life or just died of a broken heart.

Agree, sad.

I finally installed the candle today, it's working.

I agree. Monti was absolutely devastated with the loss of his wife. Especially because where her pancreatic cancer was, it had a chance to be treated; but this wasn't correctly diagnosed till it was too late to do much according to Monti. Monti's family is looking for a buyer for all his Bally stuff last I heard. They want to sell everything at one time. No picking individual items I was told. $20,000 is what they want for everything. I inquired about cables which Monti had sent me photos of. He had a few sets I believe. He would only sell me the beau plugs to make my own. I'm trying to avoid the labor intense working of all the tedious soldering. They won't sell anything piecemeal though. Enough stuff to fill a very large truck!!
