Thanks Walt: No one likes to hear they got screwed out of a $100 bucks, but worse things have happened. I searched information I had and found som sketchy stuff. I had bought it as a suprise for a Chip collector named ???? Todd, he loved snakes and was born in 1953 (YOT Snake). I bought the strike on eBay and there were only 2~3 I ever saw listed. This strike came from a guy in Hawaii and I paid $80 +S/H. All I wrote about it was that these were IN THE MACHINES, but in LIMITED supply with other common strikes (Not sure what 'common' strikes' referred to). I was told a story along that line. I was not too interested in the story because I was going to give it away. Mr. ???? Todd got one before mine arrived so I kept it. My birthyear is also 1953.

Oh Well, no good deed goes unpunished as they say......

Thanks again Walt!
