Project and Parts Machines

What defines the category

Incomplete or nonworking machines purchased for restoration, parts or static display. Marketplace labels can be broad or wrong, so use mechanism, coin path, vending, payout and cabinet evidence.

Inspection priorities

• Inventory every missing system
• Price freight and castings
• Assume hidden mechanical faults
• Check whether the base and keys are included

Before purchase

Document age evidence, maker, mechanism completeness, restorations and legal research. Price shipping and fragile castings before treating a low hammer price as a bargain.
