MILLS $1 HIGH TOP INFORMATION NEEDED
Posted: Wed Feb 17, 2021 12:34 pmHello-Just doing a little informal research on Mills $1 High Top slot machines. If I understand correctly, the general consensus is that they were an aftermarket item and not created by by the Mills Co. (or were they by special order?) I noticed that Mills Sales Co., Oakland, CA (Gordon Mills, cousin to Fred, know for "improving" and distributing the problematic Mills Dice machines in 1937-39) advertised that they were offering a "Dollar Bell" in a 1948 issue of "The Cash Box" magazine. Were they also credited with creating the "Leap Frog" escalator? (Monti?) What I would ask is that those of you who own $1 High Tops take a picture of the front exterior and the front of the mechanism. Also anyone who has been in the repair business for a long time and has worked on this denomination High Top, please feel free to add information. Thanks in advance! Robert
