Would you attempt a blackjack machine?

I take it apart. My guess is you will find a wonderfull CRT monitor, a computer or other high grade boards, 2 bill chnages, and a bunch of wire.
Sell the bill changes on Ebay, scrap the boards and wires. Not sure what case is made out of.

I still haven't seen it in person but those black panels are typically particle board. I really think my yard would be hesitant to accept the thing whole but they might. The learning experience from tearing it down might be the biggest factor.

Or I could get it working and open up Oklahoma's 106th casino in my basement.
