Hey guys figured i'd show you my one and only slot, I plan on restoring it eventually. It was handed down to me by my mother and father who bought it about 10-15 years ago at an auction.
From what i've found through searching the net I believe it's a Mills High Top Owl "The Mint" but i haven't been able to find this particular one (The Mint) anywhere on the net.
As you can see it's not in the greatest condition but it does work perfectly. I'd like to eventually take out and clean all the glass especially over the payout (i can see something written behind it but can't tell for sure what it says).
I found 1 tag on the inside of the machine that reads:
Mills Hightop Owl "The Mint"
Mint Casinos Corp
DBA The Mint
Owned Prior 12/17/62
Slots Mills
I do have a couple questions, i've posted pictures of the back where the lock "was" and was wondering where i can source a new/replacement one. second question is what or where to buy a podium for it. there's a hole in the bottom where the "till" would drop down into it's stand (i'm guessing into a cash box/bucket of some sort). I was thinking about buying a Fish tank stand for a rectangular deep fish tank (since i have one already and looks like it would work very well, i'm using it for my fish tank tho).
Any info would be greatly appreciated, everyone enjoys putting atleast 1 nickel in it every time their over.
sorry about the handrail in the pic of the inside i didn't want to move it lol.
