Hello all thank you for the replies.

@Gameswat Do you have any name, manufacturer or color code/number on the vintage gold for me?

Hi everyone, I want to add the pinstripes and flowers to the cabinet of my Mills War Eagle like shown on this picture I found and I was wondering if anybody can tell me what color was originally used. To me it looks a kind like beige or gold. Does anybody have a better picture or even a color code w...

Hello Phan000,

I have one. It is a copy of a copy and the quality of the print is ok but not brilliant. I bought it from a guy in Australia. Do you want a copy? I do not know how it will turn out though.

Hello Geofflove,

thanks for your reply. It matches all my other figures I collected. I will go with those measurements.

Does anybody out there have a Mills with the side floral ornaments and can help with some good pictures and some measurements? I think I will be able to draw my own ornaments and create a stencil for my project or print the picture in the correct size and go from there. I have added a picture with t...

Hello Treefrog,

thank you for your help. So far I had no luck. Two out of three are not around or in business anymore and the third option did not answer.

Does anybody have a 1 :1 picture, drawing, stencil, decal or measurements from the side ornaments as shown on the picture? I know originally the ornaments where put on by screen printing but I have nobody who could do this for me and no template to work with, so it is not an option. I will probably ...

Hello Treefrog,

thank you for the quick reply but 10 inches can not be. That would be a little bit over the center of the machine!

Hello community, I am restoring a Mills War Eagle and I need to make my own wooden bottom of the housing. (front and rear piece of the wood is missing). I need the distance of the nails from the edge as shown on the picture and I need to know if the nails are also inserted on the back of the machine...

Hello Swede,

I’ve got an Australian extension cord with the fitting plug to your back wall socket if you are interested.

Hello Walter,

Welcome to the forum. My dad lives in Evergreen Co. should be somewhere around your corner. Where do you get your parts for the slot machines? Do you have a local source?
Post a some pictures of your machines.

Hello Slotey,

thank you for your help! I’ll make it with the information I got from you. Piece by piece it will come together the sooner or later.
Glad you took the time to help! Great effort!

Hello Slotey, thanks for going into your machine and getting into the details for me! I really appreciate that. Well I do not have a copy of the Mead Owner‘s Pictoral Guide but here is what is missing on my jack pot housing. I found this picture on the internet. I need the reserve deflection plate(A...

Hello Slotey, You made my day! You made it look easy! I tried it out and it works just as you described. Thank you! I added a picture of the bar you described where the lever releases the jack pot door or locks it when the mechanism is pulled out of the housing. Maybe it helps somebody else also. Do...

Hello all, I‘m working on a 1931 Mills War Eagle (serial no.: 274111) with skill stop buttons and I ran into an issue with the jack pot and its triggering system. I hope somebody can help. Here are the things I know about the machine. It was converted to the German market after the war in the 1950s....

Hello malcymal,

I do not have the answer to your question but here is a picture of mine. It seems that it was built in Australia. Maybe it helps to find an answer.

Thank you for your input. i will keep an eye open for the parts.

Hello coppinpr, that is good and very interesting news! Thank you. I assumed it had something to do with checking the coins in the tube but I had no clue what the details around it were! Also your comment at the bottom is really interesting about the „reason“ why it was fitted. I assume since the li...

Hello I have a 1931 Mills War Eagle and ran into a lever assembly which I have not seen before and I do not understand for what it is needed for. The springs are missing as you can see but even if I would attach some it still makes no sense to me. The lever goes into the coin tube. It seems to check...

Hello special when lit,

thank you for the nice feedback.
