Mills side vendor

Hi all,
How easy is it to fit a mint vendor on a Mills castlefront? How do the connections work and is it a worthwhile exercise? Any advice would be appreciated.

Mills bandit timing issue

Hi folks, need some advice from a greater mind than mine: Finally got the Romanhead back together but I cannot understand why the reels stop in sequence 1, then 3, then 2.

Re: Artwork on side of Mills bandits

Many thanks for all your efforts - very interested. Not much up on artwork, so I have a person who was going to redraw freehand using pictures. I am going to ring and ask how much easier and probably better with stencil. Your idea of keeping within the penny machine society is very good. Perhaps eve...

Artwork on side of Mills bandits

Hi Does anybody have any pics of the side of an early Mills bandit showing the patterns on the side? Are these original and as it left the factory or have I obtained a bandit that an early operator has tarted up? I am looking at the sides and there definitely is floral scrollwork on the sides of the...

Re: Old allwin - any ideas?

Many thanks for information. Will have a go at steaming stickers off. I take it the old electric terminals are not worth touching. Wondered whether it was possible to get some old brass knobs to fit on. Were these just wired to early batteries - never really understood the concept? Will keep my eyes...
