Hi everyone,
Thanks for letting me join. I own a Mills slot machine and I have owned it for 20 years. It was originally in my grandad's pub. He then bought it and it stood in my great grandfather's bar at his home. He passed away 35 years ago and it was in a terrible state. My grandad managed to find someone to sympathetically restore it and get it working. It still lights up using its original lighting and takes its original coins which fill up the jackpot. I purchased the stand about 8 years ago. I know it's not the original, but looks the part. Anyhow I've attached a picture if anyone wants to take a look and possibly shed any more light on my machine. Sadly I lost my grandad 2 years ago but this machine always reminds me of him.

Hi there,

It is a very late Mills machine, probably mid '60s. See below thread on similar machines. I used to have similar. Very good conditioned, that stand is a genuine rare Sega stand for the same period, which has no longer the original paint which came in around three colours.

I love the stand.

Yes they are awesome,I do have one, but know someone that has one in each of the colours

Below was a machine that was sold with the stands that sold at auction 8 years ago for what we thought then was an incredible amount…..cool
