THE
EDITOR
Dear Editor,
I just recently purchased my first slot machine and I
am in need of some help. I know nothing about slot
machines except what I have learned fooling with this
one. The pay-off does not work for one thing, and I would
like to purchase a service manual but I don't know what
model it is.
Here are pictures and a description of my machine.
1. Mills Novelty Co. (copyright 1910 on wheel strip)
2. Serial No. 471120 (located on top of shoulder above
handle)
QUESTIONS:
OVfacfiines
1. What model is it?
2. Where can I get parts or patterns to make them?
3. Which service manual do I need?
4. When was it built?
I just recently subscribed to The Coin Slot magazine
and have received my first copy and am enjoying it very
much. It was a very worthwhile investment.
If you know which manual I need would you send it
and enclose your invoice so I can pay by return mail.
Thank you in advance for any info, you can give.
Sincerely,
Robert B. Farmer
P.S. I would be interested in an article describing the
difference
between
a
slot
machine
and
a
trade
stimulator.

For just starting out you sure started out with a great
machine. It's the Mills NEW BONUS "Horse Head" of
1939, and if you're interested in its history you'll want
"An Illustrated Price Guide to the 100 Model CoiJectibJe
Slot Machines — Revised Edition Volume 1". It's on page
89.
If you have the old Volume 1 it's on the same page, but
the Revised Edition has a lot of newer photos, an index,
updated prices and some added editorial features. It's
