Mills hi-top four reel

[christo]

I've had this Mills Hi top for about 35 years and have now decided to renovate it. The thing is all the information I can find refers to Mills 777 three reels, in fact I've never seen a four reel 7777 in any of the photos or articles I've seen on the Net.Is this an uncommon machine?
Also as it has an illuminated menu that is in pretty scratched condition, does anyone know where I can get a replacement?

Any help would be appreciated

Chris:

I think your machine was actually made by Sega (out of Japan) and not Mills.

However, they are basically the same mechanism and if you get the repair manual for Mills machines you should be able to use it to restore the machine.

The actual difference between a 4 reel mechanism and a 3 reel mechanism are not that great.

I was searching this site for info on four reel Mills machines . I have a Four-7-Crown machine and an original advertisement flyer for it from the Mills, Bell-O-Matic Corp. ,I was told my machine was made in 1964. Would this be the same mec.?
