models as possible. Will there be a guidefor the Mills SILENT
GOOSENECK "Skyscraper" in the future? That's hard to tell
but according to Dick Bueschelno maintenance and repair data
for this specific machine has ever shown up, and it appears that
the SILENT manualper Guide No. 8 was even used by Millsfor
the "Skyscraper". So, in a way you're on your own just as the
operators were in the 1930s. Sure, ifthe maintenance data does
show up, we'll probably do a guide on the machine. But at this
point it doesn't look very likely.
Also, you mentioned you were "slightly less than happy" with
Guide No. 8. If you are unhappy, we'll be glad to refund your
money if you return it in as-delivered condition as we want you
happy and satisfied with your purchase. And that goes for
anyone.
The Editor
Dear Editor:
Enclosed is the picture of the machine we talked about. The
serial number is on the back. The award card shows superior on
the ban symbols ad reads PLAY DIMES in the center of the
serial number is what is confusing me, it is higher than any
number I have read for this type of machine the number on the
mechanism matches the number on the top casting. I can't find a
(matching) number or the bottom casting at all. It's hard to tell
from your picture if the jackpot has the grill work on the
machine in the last issue of The Coin Slot. As you can see I need
a handle for this machine as the original was broken off. Let me
know if Bill has an extra handle for me.
Thank you
Caille SUPERIOR JACKPOT "Self Loader."
JA CK POT "Self Loader," We play, and appears to be an early
model circa 1929. But the serial number of 55,112 on your
picture places the production date at 1933 based on the Serial
Number Update data that has been run in thepages of The Coin
Slot. So . . . it's a confusionment.
Could Caille have put together a bunch of oldparts with later
mechanisms
(Name withheld by request)
and
serial
numbered
them
for
the
later
mechanisms? It's all we can think of, yet that early cross-hatched
Dear Anon:
That is confusing. The machine is the Caille SUPERIOR
