Could use a little help. I have a mills Novelty Bell Fruit 25 cent machine. It says copyright 1910. It is in great shape, but I would like to clean it up with new reel strips. I have posted pictures, but not sure what other information I need to get the correct strips. Any help or information?

You have a Mills QT Firebird (Thunderbird) circa 1935 with a QT Sweetheart (1941) denomination button. The mechanism may be a 25-cent QT Sweetheart (if you're lucky) or a later operator modification. The Firebird was only offered in 1 and 5-cent versions. Reel strips are available from Rick Frink (google his name with slot machine and his catalog will pop up).

That is JUST the information I was hoping for. (It is a 25 cent machine.) Thank you for all the help!!
Saloonkpr, my apologies if I put this in the wrong category. I am new to this vast source of information, but very appreciative!

The modified payouts would indicate someone has converted the machine from it's original denomination.
