Mills castle front
Having a look on the web earlier and found this unusual Mills castle front. Never seen one before with that lower front casting on it. The listing stated only 3 known to exist. Has the deferred payout mech attached also. Sold I believe.

Re: Caille Centre pull Victory Bell in Aberdeen??
Funny you should mention that tf. I was offered that machine also for a grand. I was interested, but after studying the original pictures they posted I declined. There was a chip out of the casting on the front right hand side, not easy to see but big enough for me to decline their offer. Would rath...

Re: Can anyone identify the Mexican bandits?
First machine I guess is a mills operator bell, the next row of machines I was thinking pace. Looking in the book entitled “slot machines” by Marshall fey, on page 113 is a picture of a pace “master bell” model and on page 134 a pace “operators bell”. Both similar looking to those in your picture.

Re: Caille Centre pull Victory Bell in Aberdeen??
I see this on eBay earlier. I messaged the seller in the hope of a viewing as I live close. They said they would just let the auction run its course. Then it disappeared. I guess it was reported as usual. At least these machines ARE out there. It’s all about finding them.

Re: Auctions or lack of....
There has been a lot of positive replies on this thread. An annual gathering sounds like a great idea if enough enthusiasts can get together and work something out. I would like to see other amusement machines on show, which would appeal to a wider audience. And what about the gaming laws, would thi...

Re: Auctions or lack of....
Do they still have a jukebox fair down South everyear? I am sure some vendors had slots on show. More like a rock n roll memorabilia event. I never attended but remember reading about the show somewhere.

Re: Auctions or lack of....
Of course I wish Steve’s mum Gloria a speedy recovery and good health always. The Canterbury auction was too far for me with interest in only 1 item. I know Coventry had 2 auctions one year. I guess that won’t happen again any time soon....

Re: Bryan's track whats the alternative to chroming
Why not have them nickel plated instead? Might be cheaper and more durable

Some very nice machines on offer this Sunday. Just a big shame the EE auction is held on the same day. Looks like I will have to rush to both again just like last year.....

Re: Does anybody ever buy and sell?
In regards to import duty from the States, my first machine I bought off eBay and had shipped to the UK cost me 15 of 17.5 percent duty on top of the invoice figure. Was just over £300 for a 3000 dollar machine. Next machine I bought from the Nation's Attic only cost me 5% duty because a code was us...

Re: The chance would be a fine thing!
Very nice. Not cheap to buy slots in the states and have them shipped over to the UK. I have bought a few in the past but none recently. If you can get a good deal on one of those bandits go for it! Collectors often buy a big collection just because they want one or two for themselves and sell on th...
