My father recently gave me his Mills 5 cent high top slot machine. However the escalator has some broken tabs, the parts that hold the coins in place and slides them forward into the machine. I believe the two parts are called the coin advance bar and coin holding bar. Any help pointing me in the right direction to where I can get a coin advance bar and a coin holding bar to fix the escalator would be great.

Thanks,
Erik

The escalator parts may not be broken. Many Mills machines were revamped by Buckley and they usually cut off the tabs except for maybe the first one. This made the coins roll next to each other rather than being spaced out. The indexing bar would be the same way just one tab on the end. So check further, you may find your escalator is correct as is.

My escalator is working. Three of the tabs are broken on the top and three on the bottom as well. It appears that the tabs were broken off just as you said to keep the coins from being spaced out. I would like to fix the escalator with advance and holding bars with out broken tabs so there is five coins in the window as it was originally.

Lets see the whole front of the machine. It helps ID it better.

Here it is.
