doesn't seem to be the case. The "M" no doubt stands for
Mills, so that probably obviates a revamper. Maybe.
Anyway, we're stumped
Dear Editor,
I am sending you a picture I found in a scientific magazine

Asfor our opinion about the Sega MINI-SEGA machines
recently advertised, we think they're dynamite. Our Coin
Slot Guide No. 13 Mills/Sega VEST POCKET/MINI-
SEGA reproduces the entire Sega manualfor this machine,
and also makes the point that the Sega model is an
improvement over the earlier Mills machine. We think that
a MINI-SEGA is a compliment to any interesting slot
FOR THE
COUNTRY'S
machine collection.
LARGEST VARIETY
And our opinion of the Sega CROWN "Hightops" also
being sold these days, equally dynamite. But you should be
aware they are Japanese Sega machines and not Mills
machines. They are virtually identical except for small
details (some detailed in recent letters-to-the-editor we have
received) but play and hold up well.
You'llfind mentions ofthe Sega machines in all three "An
Illustrated Price Guide to the 100 Most Collectible Slot
Machines" volumes, but no listings by individual machines.
That'll probably come some day, but to date most of the
collector concentration has been on American-made ma
chines. But that's not to say they are better. More desirable
as collectibles, yes. But a lot of the foreign machines look
good and play well, and iftheir owners like them that's all
that counts. As long as they KNOW they're buyingforeign
machines.

The Editor
Dear Editor,
LOOK FOR ME AT CHICAGOLAND!
I recently had a chance to read a copy of the May, 1981 The
Coin Slot which I enjoyed very much. Enclosed you will find a
check for $25.00 for a one year subscription.
I recently purchased my first slot machine — a Mills HIGH
TOP — photos of which I have enclosed The machine is in
excellent working order including the jackpot which works well.
Being a novice I have several questions which I hope you can
J&R
Saloon
answer for me.
1. Can you identify specifically the model and year of this
machine?
Novelties
2. Regarding the exterior of the machine, does the color etc.
appear to be original? If not, what color was the original for
this machine?
3. The base has a crack (photos 1 and 2) which I would like to
replace. Will replacing it detract from the value and the
authenticity of the machine?
