Possibly the worst looking Mills named machine ever

Post by coppinpr »

This really is nasty, still at least the seller isn't trying to pull the wool over anyone's eyes. His description:
Condition: Used
“FORMICA CHIPPED. HINGE OFF, SCRATCHES, KEY BROKEN OFF IN LOCK, HAVE SPARE”

In Mills defence, I don't believe Mills actually built this machine of course.

I've had a couple of these revamps and they are worse inside than out. Mine had a mix of Jennings and Mills parts put together with all the skills of a blind night class student. Still managed to find a buyer, though not for much money obviously.

If I lived much further south I would have bought it, love these simple bandits, similar case to the Beromat type conversions like Princess/Royals.... shame the cash tray was missing.

Shame as I had only recently picked up another nice old penny bandit from the area, very original Copper Star, supplied by R&W and with working token vendor with R&W large tokens in and proper 1D escalator. Just need to get the lights working.
