I couldn't resist putting this in as this post was already massively bumped by some 'tard, but after nearly 5 years from the original post, not one Aristocrat machine has actually been preserved (i.e. boards collected and ROMs etc. dumped).
In Victoria (Australia), all machines (not just Aristocrat - Konami, Atronic, Bally, VLC/Powerhouse, IGT, Stargames/WMS...) before 2002 have been banned for use in gaming venues. As such, there's not one MKIV ('Mark 4') or MKV machine left; the last machines removed in December 2007 at the time of the crackdown. We were also limited at the same time to a A$1000 collect - anything above this is now paid by cheque (it was previously limited to $2000).
These machines were all banned from use from the amendment prohibiting the usage of $100 notes - any machine with even the option of accepting such a note was banned, even if the option could be disabled. A few early MKVI games were banned too. Most likely the old PCBs were either put in storage somewhere (manufacturer, govt?), or maybe destroyed.
