I've decided to add a slot box to my list of routines to learn. I have done some searches, but am unable to find a "standard" Okito-style slot box to match my Johnson boxes. Daytona Magic has some Jim Zee coin boxes, however, this company has gotten some very bad press on this site.

Anyone wish to share where they purchased their boxes? I am looking for the standard flat-sided box, not the Buddha-sided type.

I'm not sure about one matching the Johnson one. You might have to buy another set. David Roth has this set for sale. Try a search. Hope that helps.

You can get from most dealers the Buddha line of boxes. They have Okito, Boston, slot, magnetic, plug and sucker. Comes in sizes of half dollars and quarters too.

They have a nice weight to it.

The complete Roth set is pretty pricey (somewhere around $100). The Johnson standard S box matches the Okito box nicely, however, it's a PITA to find one these days.

I just ran several searches of the usual suppliers and turned up empty, except for the gold dollar box set that the Trickery sells.

I'd try contacting Johnson directly to get the their slot box. Their number is 626-445-1411. Ask for Kathy.

Best,
Mike

I don't like the Buddha boxes because their lids have a smooth convex edge. I find it hard to get a good grasp of the lid and makes handling awkward...just my experience. Others may have a different opinion.

I have the David Roth set. Got it at his LVMI Coinvention lecture last August. Pricey, yes, I think it was $90 smackers, but very good quality and all matching. The best part however is that it includes his manuscript!!! Made it worth it to me! Any magic shop should be able to get it for you. PM me if you need help finding it.

Never dealt with them so I don't know anything about them...Just used search function..

The Pro Coin Boxes - Exotic Metal and Wood Inlaid from Moonlight Magic sure looks cool.

Thank you all for your responses. Sorry to be delayed in my appreciation, I was out of town. I decided to try the Daytona magic site in spite of the negative reviews as the box seems to be close to what I am after. If it isn't, I'll think about coughing up the money for David Roth's set---wife permitting!!!

I just ordered a huge set of various boxes (including a slot box) from Roy Kueppers. Email him, he is extremely affordable and great quality.

Good call man. I just bounced Roy an e-mail about an Okito/slot set... those cocobolo boxes look niiiiice...

Ooh they makes coin boxes out of coco-bolo? I can get a whole coco-bolo TREE for fairly cheap here...
