Q. Deaj Pappy,
I have a Mills HIGHTOP and it needs some
repair parts. Could you provide me with names of
people that sell these parts? Also, where can I get
informationontermslikeC.O.K, R.O.K., D.R.D.,etc.
Q. Dear Pappy,
I recently found this machine. Can you identify
it and tell me what it is worth? Also, can you tell me
how the large cogged wheel in the center oper
ates? Does it govern the number of coins that
As you may guess, I am new to this and would like

A. DearJ.G.H.,
The best place to obtain a list of names for parts
is from The Coin Slot, and the best place to obtain
information on terms isfrom the"100 Most Collec
tible Series" by Dick Bueschel.
Now, about collecting! This can take as many
twists and turns as a Ludlow novel. Some people
begin collecting simply because they like one

ROL-A-TOP. If they bought a nickel, they might
want a dime next, then a quarter, etc. Then a
50/250, penny gumball vender and on and on.
Perhaps they just bought a HIGHTOP for their
A. Dear Collector,
Your machine is a Jennings VICTORIA Model B,
dating from roughly 1931. Its current value would
be $1,000 - $1,200. Now, you are absolutely right
in suggesting that the large cogged wheel governs
the number of coins entering the jackpot. It can be
pre-set to the desired number of coins, 60,70, etc.
and that exact amount will be entered into the
jackpot.
basement bar. After that they wanted another,
maybe a gooseneck, then a WAR EAGLE and on
and on.
Needless to say, the ways to go about collecting
are endless, but here are some tips.
1) Buy what you like!
2) Look for machines which might be under
valued at the moment.
3) Buy machines in as good original condition
as possible.
Do not buy reproductions.
