Hi Forum
Does anyone know what kind of glue Mills used to attach the paper ID tags inside the cabinets?
Thanks
John

I could be wrong, but I believe I read somewhere that they used "mucilage" glue. I used to use that when I was a kid, it was LePage's glue, brown stuff in a glass bottle with an odd rubber tip on the cap.
Slowly building a knowledge base on E2000 series Bally machines and J400 Jennings. Started with the antique Mills and Jennings. Getting there...

Yes, and that's the reason why most of the tags are no longer intact.
As the glue dried-out over the years, many of the tags fell off.
The best glue that I have found acceptable for most of the items that
I need to attach, is 3M Brand Spray Glue, in the rattle-can. Even for
mounting reel strips on the tin reels that do not have channels. I have
been using it for several years, with excellent results.
