I enjoyed seeing the spectacular photos from others who were in the path of totality. I was in the path of mediocrity. Skies were clear at the start of it, so I looked through some (legit) eclipse glasses and saw the beginning. After that, it was overcast and looked simply like an average...

I just posted new Key West chip prices for 2024. Here's the link and the chart. https://www.pokerchipforum.com/threads/key-west-2024-prices.114303/ For PCF members, denominated chips will increase $0.08 per chip to $2.19 each, or about 3 1/2 percent. Each year, the chips are priced as the...

Key West 2024 Chip Prices There will be a small increase in the price of Key West Resort & Casino chips for orders placed in 2024. On our Key West retail website, I'll be matching Classic Poker Chips' price for a denominated Level 1 chip so as not to cut into their business. After the PCF...

The next step... The obvious next step is to transfer the side outline of the machine onto plywood at 100 percent size and (carefully) cut it out two copies with a jigsaw. I'm basically building the slot machine cabinet around the monitor, printer and control panel. I'm holding off on this...

Stayed up late last night wiring the action portion of each button. Between the "light" side and "action" side of each button, it's a total of 20 connections from the controller to the five buttons. Yellow wires are chained ground wires for the actions. Black wires connect the blue portion of...

Spent some time wiring the IGT buttons So far, lights inside the buttons are wired, connected and working. They look great, but the photos make them look really bright. (They're bright, but not as bright as they look here.) The black wire is ground and is chained to the negative...

Update: Drilled all the holes in the control panel today using a 1/4" drill bit used to cut glass. After the holes were drilled, I was finally able to peel the paper off the acrylic. The panel is translucent, so lights under the panel and decals using transparent labels are options. Left...

Test: Drilling holes in the acrylic The larger IGT buttons have small pegs built in underneath. When you install the buttons, these pegs go into holes to hold the buttons in place and keep them from spinning, Larger IGT buttons have pegs on the bottom to keep them from spinning You can see...

The control panel top, where the player's hand will rest, will be a piece of custom-cut sky blue acrylic, 1/8 inch thick. The holes for the IGT buttons were cut at the factory. The acrylic panel cover arrived today. It needs to be tweaked a bit. The 7/8" holes for the IGT buttons need to be...

Welcome from a neighbor in Delaware!

Update: More printer woes causing delays The plan: The "backup" receipt printer (EOM-POS 200) was scheduled to arrive today. (It's intended to replace the Epson TM-T20 receipt printer that would not work.) I was planning to install it and print a "cashout voucher" from the slot software today...

When I read the OP, I immediately thought your samples may have come from a run of the chips in 2013, when a former owner of ASM was briefly in sole control of the company before it sold to Classic Poker Chips. He was known for sending chips out to customers that his partner had pulled due to...

We're quickly running low on several denominations as we anxiously await a shipping notice from Classic Poker Chips. We placed an order for some new Key Wests earlier this year. New chips should be on their way to us soon. (We're basically out of $1s and $5s, so I'm looking forward to a UPS...

Sketched out a basic cabinet design today. It's crude, and may change. The next step will be to scale it up to 100 percent on cardboard and see what fits where.

Control panel design colors and ideas: Got samples of opaque acrylic panels today in three colors. I'm considering one of these three colors for the exterior of the control panel. It's strong, and it's thin enough to install the buttons with no problem. They can cut the holes at the factory...

I was actually thinking of rigging it to a recording of Seth McFarlane (as "Brian" from "Family Guy") saying "Whose leg do I have to hump to get a drink around here?"
