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 in the area

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.

I don't deal with trade stimulators and never give price quotes without seeing pictures. I have been burned too many times. If you don't want to do eBay you might try craiglist. www.CoinOpCollectorForum

You are correct in that you should not use any grease on the slides. I have a DVD set which documents the dismantling and putting back together a Mills slot machine. The way a machine pays out on a

2012-02-16 mills castle front slot machine:

The Mills Castle Front machine is a very common machine (as far as antique slot machines go). It was made in the mid 1930s. Someone repainted your machine and, to be honest, did a really bad job

The machine is a Buckley Half Top. They are fairly common machines. You might want to go to www.AntiqueSlotMachinePriceGuide.com and research it to see what they have recently sold for at auction.
