Question
I AM WISHING TO REPAIR MY GRAND FATHERS 5 CENT MILL'S BLACK CHERRY SLOT MACHINE. I HAVE NO RESPONSE FROM THE LEVER. SEEMS THE 3 WHEELS ARE CEASED. JUST ASKING IF THERE IS A MANUAL I MAY FIND TO KEEP MY SLOTS IN WORKING ORDER?
I sell a DVD which discusses how to fix the most common jams on antique slot machines.
There used to be a book out that talked about how a Mills slot machine works but it has been out of print for years.
Go to http://www.IBuyOldSlots.com/howToUnjamASlotMachine.php for more information on the DVD.
I also sell a 5 DVD set wich talks about how to restore a Mills slot.

Expertise
My expertise is in the area of antique slot machines. Specifically pre 1940 era machines. I have an extensive price history list of slot machines that have been sold on eBay and other auction houses (e.g., Victoria Casino Auctions, Rich Penn Auctions, etc.). PLEASE, do not send questions about anything that is not coin-op related. I have no expertise in other items and cannot help you.
Experience
1. I run a discussion forum on coin operated devices (http://www.coinopcollectorforum.com)
2. I maintain a web site which tracks price trends for antique slot machines (www.AntiqueSlotMachinePriceGuide.com)
3. I published an 8 hour video tape on how to properly restore a Mills slot machine back in the 1990s
4. I published a book (Coin Op On CD) which was distibuted on a CD. This CD had many articles and thousands of photos of antique coin operated devices. It also had many videos of rare and unusual coin operated devices.
This CD has since been published on the web (http://www.ibuyoldslots.com/COCD/)
5. I have written articles on how to identify fake/reproduction slot machines.
