Here is a photo my wife took of me "under the hood" of the latest find. :D

I am adjusting the wheel because it got knocked a little out of adjustment during shipping.

IT DOES HAPPEN!
I found a MILLS ROULETTE at a garage sale in the early '80's.

Nope, not a garage sale.

Craigslist. He was asking $7,500 but got him down to $3,000 :^o :wink:

I once found a Mills Cross Diamond FOK at a moving sale. They didn't have it out, but I always ask if they have any coin op stuff. I always wanted a slot with a vendor. At first I couldn't find it in any of my books. It was a great surprise when I found the connection to Frank Costello. He was a crime boss in New York.
