Charles Fey invented the first slot machine in 1895. In 1907, Fey teamed up with the Mills Novelty Company and then manufactured the Mills Liberty Bell. The Liberty Bell featured a cast iron case, with a classic Liberty Bell cast into the front of the machine. The machine originally had cast iron feet with toes. In later models the toes were eliminated and replaced with ornate scrolled feet. The machine's reel strips depicted playing cards (the king, queen, and jack). It also had a bell that rung when you hit a winning combination. Unfortunately, the ringing bell was quickly dropped. The original concept, however, was not lost because now-a-days, modern slots have a bell which ring to signal that a player has hit the jackpot. In 1910, the Mills Novelty Co. introduced a slight variation to the Liberty Bell and called it the Operator Bell. This machine had a good neck coin entry and featured the now famous fruit symbols.
These cast iron slots are heavy, weighing in at over 100 pounds. Over 30,000 of these machines were made.
The era of cast iron machines ended in 1915, when Mills introduced slot machines with less expensive wood cabinets. In the early 1930s, the Mills Novelty Company made a number of additional changes to its line of slot machines that revolutionized the industry.
First, it designed its machines to be much quieter. . ."so you couldn't hear it a few feet away". That's why its 1930s machines are referred to as the "silent bell".
Then it introduced a double jackpot that assured players that one could win twice in quick succession.
To make its machines memorable and enticing to players, Mills introduced a series of cabinet designs that were striking and colorful, each with its own theme. The first in early 1931 was the Lion Head. In late 1931, it was the War Eagle and the Roman Head, and in 1933, it was the Castle Front.
The Lion Head still utilized the gooseneck coin acceptor that was the standard for the 1920s. The War Eagle, however, featured a new coin acceptor that displayed the coins played moving one by one across the top of the machine. This feature, not only added additional movement, but also provided the operator extra security by allowing him to more easily check whether slugs were being used.
Additional information on slot machines can be found in the following books by Dick Bueschel: Lemons, Cherries, and Bell Fruit Gum; and Slots 1: An identification and Value Guide to the One Hundred Most Popular Slot Machines.

Long-time customers and visitors to my web site have become accustomed to using my Order Form to place orders, but as the number of items I stock continues to increase the one-page catalog has become unbelievably long and is often slow to load, especially for those with dial-up modem connections to the Internet.
Throughout the months of July and August 2007 I designed and developed an MS Windows program to automatically generate the web pages that make up the entire HO Slot Car Racing web site.
This new program has allowed me to logically integrate the items I sell into the various pages of this web site. Now instead of searching my order form for Tomy AFX Super G+Plus replacement parts or BSRT Hop-Up Parts for the SG+ chassis, you can simply go to the Tomy page to find information and parts, all in one place! This new approach has also made finding parts for Vintage Aurora Slot Cars much easier. There are now web pages dedicated specifically to each of the Aurora chassis:

You're still welcome to use my one-page order form to make your purchases, but try looking on specific pages for the items you're interested in. My new page design software has made it much easier to include pertinent information about the variety of products I stock and sell, instead of just the simple single-line description the order form provides.

History & Background HO Slot Car Racing was started in 1999 to provide accurate information about the HO slot car racing hobby. The Internet was beginning to become a main-stream Information outlet for most people so pages devoted to raceway design, layout wiring and computer-assisted lap timing and counting were some of the first topics covered.
Many visitors asked where they could buy the wiring products I described, and others asked me to custom build a slot car raceway for them.
The first products HO Slot Car Racing offered in 1999 were Track Wiring Kits, Custom Power Tracks, Drivers Stations and MS Windows Lap Timer 2000 Software for counting and timing laps.
These products remain in the catalog to this day and are still much-appreciated by track owners who want a professionally wired track. See the Power page for more information about complete wiring kits, power tracks, drivers stations and the various track wiring supplies required to safely and easily wire a slot car track of any scale.
The Construction page illustrates how all of these products are brought together to build a 4-lane slot car track you'll be proud to own and race on for many years to come.
As I built more and more custom tracks for customers I realized that a need existed for turn borders or aprons that could be placed around the outside of turns to provide a drifting area and eliminate the guard rails that allowed the car in the outside lane to lean on the rail and gain an unfair advantage.
