Re: Mills Operator Bell
Badpenny, could you explain more what you mean with this. I can't understand it - I blame my bad English :woops: Incidentally, looking at your photos again, the one of the striker, it is hinged at the top isn't it? It needs to be and spring loaded so it will bend as it passes back under the discs re...

Re: Mills Operator Bell
I have tried to check a bit more. It's a bit of rubbing between the reels and the two first reel brakes. I also noticed that the reel kicker (see attached pics) looks as if somebody has welded on it ? :!: Does anyone have a picture of how it should look on the Mills Operator Bell? I also think that ...

Mills Operator Bell
Hi, This weekend I have been taking the reelbundle apart and cleaning the parts the best i could. I did this because the wheels did not move as freely as they should. But when I mounted the reel bundle back I noticed that the main reel shaft was not quite straight. I think this is what makes the pro...

Re: Mills Operator Bell identified
It will be nice to try and bring this machine back to some of its former glory as youngerap says. But how? What should I use to polish the casting ? !PUZZLED! Should I paint it like it once was or just polish it? Should the sides of wood be in this colour or should I sand it down ? SkEpTiCaL All tip...

Re: Mills Operator Bell identified
Hi Mr bandito,
Very interesting pics you sent! I've been searching for something like this.
Would it be possible for you to email me pics from this booklet?
Please let me know if you can do that or where I could get one.
Thank you again.

Re: Mills
Thank you Badpenny and coppinpr, The middle reel stops first then stops the first reel and last stops the third reel. I think I need to take the slides out and clean them they have sticky grease and dont always payout. Also it seems to be in freeplay, since I dont have to pay to play. I still cant u...

P1060082.JPG Hi, I recently bought this old rough one arm bandit. I hope I can ask a few questions to begin with. I think there will be more... Is it correct that this bandit is called Mills Operator Bell? What year could it be from? I can't find any model number on it. Could there be a manual for ...

Re: What could it be ?
Thank you,
Maybe an Aristocrat Elite. Saw one on the internet and the jackpot unit looks the same.
Do you think I could use parts from this one on an Aristocrat Nevada?

Re: Aristocrat Nevada
Hi thank you a lot. I was a bit afraid to unscrew the slide top cover, but I did and actually find that this slide top cover was mounted backwards. When I mounted it back it seems to work OK. I shall remove the slides for cleaning later. Guess the earlier owner had mounted this cover wrong. I will l...

Hi, I recently bought an Aristocrat Nevada -1964. It has been unplayed for many years and does have some problems! 1. The payout seems to not be working - if there's money in the tube it often all runs out when I pull the arm. I understand that it's important that the payout slides are clean. How do...
