Mills, a 1934 Castle slot machine, full restoration.

[99623]

Hello, let me introduce myself, I am David Walz, and I have 9 slot machines 7 are EM Bally, 2 are modern. All of them are 100% restored from the ground up, with everything that the factory installed including the hopper covers for all of them. I am a member of New life games, and this is my first mechanical slot machine.
I figured it would be a great winter project here in Alaska.

If anyone here has information, suggestions, tips, anything I am interested in it, I need to learn about this machine.

Update: I am in the process of restoring the machine. It's a gold coin award.

Thanks

That is a great machine to restore. A labor of love. Here is one that I did.

That's beautiful! Does it have the same mechanism as the Mills Castle?

It's an older Castle Front because it has the paper award card. Even better the machine has a gold award feature. This is the small narrow window on the right. It dispensed a coin/token when the symbols came up on the reels.

The meck is almost the same except for the token award part.

I dismantled the slot machine and found the gold award feature. Now I need to find information about it.

The gold award will dispense one token when the 3 # 7 line up. The tokens are 1 1/4 inches.

Hello and Welcome Dave! That Castle will be a nice restoration project for your long nights in Alaska! Yes it appears to have most of the linkage for a gold awards payout but the reel set is what will confirm if its going to payout a gold token, The #1 reel should have a square notch which will trigger the mechanism payout.
