Yes, it was on the old large 50p's and was, if I recall, from a casino in Gibraltar. Needed a lot doing to it to restore it. What I liked about it was the heptagon shaped coin entry for those 7 sided coins! First time I had seen one on a Jennings.

Point taken Mr BP. When I have a spare 3 or 4 hours I do the searches for "slot" etc. and end up back where I started, then I end up falling asleep.....

I would like to 2nd the comment left by "Cheeky". Well said that man! I won't be going to the Lincolnshire auction. Remember a few years ago a Jennings Club Chief in a console came up for sale at auction with, I believe, an estimate of £400? I went to that auction. As soon as that lot came...

ya voll! dast wast gud!!!

There was a similar machine on ebay UK a few years ago - sold for less than £600, if I remember. I think it was from Southend, Essex? Also had a look at one from a dealer about 10 years ago. I think his name was Simon? He lives South somewhere. I remember his house had a large black fence arround it...

All the Mills machines I have seen and owned have serial numbers. Could be a re-cast top casting or the serial number just sanded out.

ahhhhhhhhhhhh.............so THAT'S how you bend it.........

One for the ladies......

And here are some more.....

Some pictures from the last E.H. Auction. Sorry I took so long to post them and, yes, I know they are a little dark. Must upgrade my camera.....

The picture posted of the Mills "bullseye" is taken from Jo van Dongen's web site. He lists the machine as "Mills Operators Bell Bulls-Eye." When I first got into collecting slot machines, this model was one of the first slot machines I bought. I thought it was called a "bul...

The machine you have is a Mills Operator Bell. It has the correct award card frame and award card. The name "bullseye" is a nickname given to it by someone. If you said to an American collector you have a "bullseye bell", they would laugh at you! :lol: Dates from the mid to late ...

Good luck with the repair. I bought some of those ally rods off ebay but not used them yet - the ones that don't use flux. It's a shame your machine has a crack in the casting. Another reason why I would never bid blind from the pictures posted on the Elephant House web site. Details like that would...

I was keen on the Shooting Star, but the cracked casting on the right frame next to the numbers put me off. Shame, a nice machine otherwise.

Check out this video. The box is a computer monitor and the house owner was at home at the time of delivery. He had left his door open waiting for the delivery......

The Mills Melon Front is the same one that came up in the Elephant Auction last year (last one I went to). I was keen on it until I viewed it. Pictures can be very deceiving. I would never buy anything without viewing it first. Have been fooled before.... the Melon Bell, if I remember, had an issue...

There are reproductions of the early Mills Liberty Bells out there. The mech inside the one at the Elephant Auction house is an old mech, but the vertical payout fingers look "newish" to me. Original ones, I think, are different. If it is all original, worth the 5-8k; if repro, then 2-4k; ...

well done pennymachines, thanks for the link! had a good laugh.......

I bought a burger at Tesco’s cafe, the waitress said “would you like anything on it?” I replied “a fiver each way “
