Mills Re-Vamp (Boland)

Topic moved & merged - Site Admin.

I picked this up at Coventry this weekend and wondered if the seller was on here and could tell me anything about it, not seen one before. The mech is pretty basic and it's got a fake jackpot, but Im not bothered, I like the look of it.

Re: Coventry Auction: Sunday 26th November 2017

All I can see is 5 pages and no lot numbers, is that correct ? I’ve not seen one of your catalogues before.

Re: How not to sell a machine on ebay

Why would you post the same machine for sale at 5 different prices on 5 separate listings ?

Re: Elephant House Auctions

The Wonders went for £840, the Heureka for £420. Sorry didn’t make a note of the Airship. All plus commission of course. I thought the prices of most of the machines were reasonable compared to the highly inflated prices recently (mainly as a result of two guys who just wanted to outbid for everythi...

Re: Inflation takes hold!

The original seller also had a Mills carcass with the same rubbish behind it. I gathered the seller was a builder who had found these in a property he was either demolishing or renovating. Can't imagine it sold for £700 as there were no bidders at £250.

Inflation takes hold!

Anyone seen this on e-bay. It was on last week for £250 and didn't sell, now apparently inflation has increased its value to £700 !

Re: what bandit to restore?

I've only got into Bandits in the past 6 months and started with a Jubilee to learn on (still restoring) but have also bought a Jennings Chief and two Segas. They are very simple mechanics and I agree with previous posts that as soon as you start taking them apart to clean, it becomes clear how they...

Re: chrome plater nightmare

It would be very interesting to know their explanation, especially if you have used them for the past 4 years. Anyway, you've just made my mind up for me. I've got a Jennings Governor that a local polishing shop has quoted me £250 - £300 for a mirror finish, £150 - £180 for a shiny patinated finish ...

Re: Bell Cascade Penny Deluxe no key

I was watching it, but missed the precise time it went under the hammer due to worm commitments. I would have gone to maybe £250.
