from Robert A. Doyle of East Coast Casino Antiques, 98 Main
Street, Fishkill NY, 12524 that identifies Bob as a member
appraiser. You might try him. Incidentally, professional ap
praisers generally work on a fee of 3% to 5% of the appraised
evaluation, or for a set negotiated fee, so that gives you an idea
of what that might cost.
The second method is being accepted by most insurance
companies. In fact, we haven 7 found one yet that has rejected
the system. That's Do-It- Yourself, but with help. Ifyoufollow a
standard form or procedure and identify your machines, date,
description, etc. they'll take it. The documentation is supported
by xeroxed pages from any of the current "An Illustrated Price
Guide to the 100 Most Collectible Slot Machines" or "Trade
Stimulators", with three volumes of slots now available (the
third in about 8 weeks!) and two volumes oftrade stimulators on
the stands.
Now here's a way to do it — get "An Illustrated Price Guide to
the WO Most Collectible Trade Stimulators Volume2"just now
out. It has a complete editorial section of how to do your own
appraisals, and has afull set of the accepted standardforms and
some sample applications. It'll do the trick fast, inexpensively,
and effectively.

Dear Beverly;
Thanks for the picture as we suggested, and that did it. Your
machine is the Mills HAND LOAD "Black Front", serial
465,691 which means it was produced in 1940. It's the same as
the MYSTERY and BLUE FRONT as covered in Coin Slot
Guide No. 15 (which will cover the mechanism) exceptfor that
large single hand loaded jackpot on the front.
Dear Editor,
I have enclosed a picture for your identification. This Mills
machine is serial # 465,691. What is our slot machine?
Thanks Again,
Beverly Wright
A future Coin Slot Guide No. 184 is in the works for the
HANDLOAD and FUTURE PLA Y models, but that'll be a
year or two in coming. The mechanisms are the same as covered
