The tric-it was made by John Fruend, not Mills.
i had one in the 70's.
It came from all places, the people that lived across the street for my in-laws.
Art Hamernik also found one in the early '80's.
Very fun machine.
Can you post a link to the action, or, to the machine?
Morphy has several auctions coming up.

this is a semi-fantasy item.
they did not come with a floor stand like that.
description does state stand is new.
but, does not state that the machine cabinet is new, as it obviously is.
pictures are not large enough to see the mechanism, and, metal parts that well, so, cannot say as to whether original or not.
as stated earlier (see above post), the tric-it is a fun machine to play.
