Hi -

Would anyone be able to tell me a little about my machine based on the pictures I've attached? I've figured out it's a Mills Lion Head but not sure if it's an original or replica. The machine runs fine and pays out correctly.
Could you tell me what this would sell for? Thanks!

Well so far the news is not good. The pics show you have a repro back door probably the lock too, the cash box is another repro and some of the wood along side the cashbox is new. The biggest thing I see is the mechanism is not the original but a late model Japanese Mills/Sega mech. Not sure if the rest of the wood is original but it looks too good specially the base. The casting and gooseneck may be original but its hard to tell from the outside, a close up pic of the back side of the castings would be needed.
