At Victorian Casino Antiques we offer a large selection of coin operated and mechanical devices to our customers. We are quite often asked to evaluate the condition of these devices. In doing so, one must remember that the majority of these devices were used and operated by their original owners in commercial endeavors. Being mechanical, device parts do wear out or get broken and have been replaced to keep the device operating. Our staff is not expert, nor has the knowledge to analyze every device and know which parts may or may not have been repaired or replaced. We try to ascertain the working condition of each device and whether it has gone through a total restoration. Otherwise we will say a device is in original working condition or not. We do not represent or warrant any answers to the condition questions as absolutely accurate since there is such a degree of opinion and subjectivity in these answers or statements. Any condition statement is given as a courtesy to a client, is only an opinion and should not be treated as a statement of fact. Victorian Casino Antiques shall have no responsibility for any error or omission. The absence of a condition statement does not imply that the item is in perfect condition or completely free from wear and tear, imperfections or the effects of aging. Obviously it is best if a prospective bidder inspects a device themself or has someone inspect it for them. If this can't be done, we will do our best under the circumstances set forth above.
