Hi, I just purchased a rare slot machine that once belonged to the Stardust Hotel and was specially made for the Aku Aku room. It was made by the Jennings Slot Machine Company. It's hard to tell in it's current paint but it's a giant Tiki head - you pull the right ear for the handle - too crazy! The award card is original and shows that the jackpot paid on three symbols showing the giant Maoi heads outside the restaurant. I fell in love with this goofy machine but I now need to figure out how it was originally painted so I can finish the restoration the previous owner started years ago. I know that at least a few other have survived but I don't believe they have original paint either. Does anbody happen to have an image showing the interior of the restaurant with these machines on location!? There must've been a stand that went with these as well. This machine was found as an empty cabinet in a Nevada rubbish many years ago and luckily was salvaged to live on. Thanks, AkuAku
