My first roadside pickup / what would you do with a video slots machine?

Throw a touchscreen in there, slap some speakers into the front panel and make a touchscreen jukebox!

One weird thing, there is a "Tec-Key 2000" (some sort of wireless receiver, like a garage door) wired into it, seems to go to the reset switch. I wonder what purpose that would serve?

A place I used to hang out could clear the credits on the machine remotely when someone cashed in. Think it's for that?

Here is in Wisconsin, these things are everywhere.  Pretty much every bar you go into, even some gas stations have them.  They don't legally "pay out" but in this entire state, it's an unwritten rule that they really do payout.  If you ever win big and want to cash out, you just talk to the bartender and they pay you in cash.   Anyway, I've seen countless places use a remote to restart the machine, which clears the credits off of it.

Oh, and I personally would restore it, but then again I like these things.  If you aren't into the whole slot machine thing, then you could just sell the parts and MAME it out.   PM me if you are interested in selling the board at a reasonable price!

If I had that I'd just stick a cheap PC in it and an LCD monitor and just make a basic classics cabinet out of it. Control panel won't take much more than a joystick and a few buttons. Depending on the screen burn I might invest in a JPac and Arcade VGA. I'd certainly bin the printer and note dispenser. What size monitor is in it now ?
