As a result of my ongoing failure to acquire a reasonably priced Mills 7-7-7 HiTop, I am considering converting my 'plain Jane' Jewel Bell nickel machine.

Does anyone have any experience with such a task? My limited knowledge tells me that I need to replace the reel disks and the reel strips, add a token dispenser,
as well as an 'award detection lever' (to handle the 7-7-7 award). I think this is an eBay for the reel disks (as best a I can tell from my Parts List):

The reel strips may be hard to find, as I want ones with the black background.

. . . anyway, any thoughts/cautions/ideas/tips would be most welcome.

Thanks!

there are both of the machines you are talking about in clean, straight condition at the roscoe antique mall in south beloit, illinois.
ask for Ted.
