The Pace Bell slot machine was a marvel of engineering simplicity. This comprehensive manual covers all standard-size mechanical models of this remarkable slot machine. Approximately 350 detailed photographs are accompanied by step-by-step instructions for all routine maintenance operations as well as complete disassembly, overhaul, lubrication, assembly and theory of operation. The Pace machine's design has stood the test of time, as evidence by its continued use through the 1980s in several Nevada casinos. Since many of these machines have been retired from casino service and are being acquired by collectors, an entire chapter has been devoted to casino variances and added-on devices. With this manual and a few simple tools you will be able to analyze and correct nearly any problem you hay encounter with your Pace slot machine. This is the second printing of the popular first edition. Size: 8.5" x 11".

This entry is a riotous collection of vignettes about Nevada and Las Vegas. Peppered with nearly 90 photographs---old and new---Chip-Wrecked reads something like a gigantic Reader's Digest of Las Vegas and Nevada.

You'll see actual photos of early gambling, Bugsy Siegel . . . in life and death, inside Hoover Dam---before it filled with water, Reno's famous Virginia Street in the 1930s, craps shooters in the Las Vegas Club in 1947, Louis Prima singing at the Sahara Lounge in 1956, casino surveillance through one-way mirrors, Pappy Smith in Harolds Club with old-time slots, Double Mills slots being played for $10,000, Howard Hughes and other young casino owners, and opening night at the Sands Casino in 1952. Size: 5.5" x 8.5".
