Hi!
Are the Mills Silver Palace machines, like the two now on eBay, "for real" (i.e., did they exist "back in the day") or are they repro inventions?
Thanks,
Jack

Real ones do exist and were made in the 50' or early 60's. They were not made in large numbers as they were casino made I believe and not Mills made. Unfortunately the repros out number the real ones and have hurt the value of the originals. This is not my area of expertise and I cannot tell you the differences but others can such as Larry Zeidman at L.A. Slots can help.

Hi i have just bought at auction a Silver Palace slot at a auction in the UK it is in a console so it was impossable to see the case to check for any decal.
It had all the right signs metal plate where the cash box is covering a coin hole,rivets where the top of the castle is missing.
It fitted the case nice it had a problem with the lower trim ajustment.
It just screamed this is the one i think everyone thought repro.
I saw the machine 2 or 3 years ago as found and it disapeared very quickly then turned up all polished.
Today was the day to find out, see the pics and make your mind up.
Original Silver Palace + a very nice console refurbed not a lot to do.
Thanks to Slot Machines On Parade book a slot i thought i would never find in the UK.
