Well, got screwed once again (sort of). needed parts for a Mills diamond front, which was totally altered in the 1950's. it was turned into a "token vendor only machine" If you know what I mean , good. if not , Well , never buy one, it will cost you a cool 1 G to convert it back to a working slot.
I found a "mills" complete mechanics & coin escalator for 5 cent. of course, off e-ban. few photos but, looked complete, price seemed good, ect., ect. ,& looked correct era = not a high top type.
just got them today... Almost nothing on them is Mills marked. lots of letter/ number codes AND almost everything is stamped with a 3 pointed / pronged crown marking !!!
O.K. , WHAT DID i JUST BUY ???? a Dutch made slot ,copied from a mills ??? or was this crown marking a U.S. made company ?
reel strips are mills, the disks may not be. #1 = "B", disk #2 ="J-2", & disk #3= " SP-3" (which is a correct one).
I originally wanted to just slide this into the D.F. cabinet, then noticed it's not mills. So now want to steal the needed parts off it for the other one but, don't want to destroy it , if it's "rare" , ect.
of course , it was a "no returns" sale..... A guy out of Florida ,with lots of parts up for sale every week.
no sure How I want to handle the feed back yet.
parts needed are correct but, just not mills , ect.
any clue who actually made this ???
