Welcome to the forum.

The machine has been restored. It looks like a decent restoration job. It also looks like all the parts are there.

The colors are not quite correct.

I don't think the price is too far out of line. Go to http://www.AntiqueSlotMachinePriceGuide.com and do some comparisons (I sent you a code that is valid for 5 days).

The hightop Bonus is not really that rare, but it is a good working machine and in my opinion, if you are going to get a hightop, then this is the model to get.

Thanks Dave !!!
The Price Guide is AWESOME!
Thank you for your advice and expertise. My uncle had one that I played as a kid..so this machine brings back fond memories. I feel much better knowing at least for my first machine I'm not doing too bad.
Thanks again!

I just sold a Mills Bonus Hi-top to a friend of mind for $2700.00 I totally restored the machine myself. It was the correct colors and it had the original award card and strips. I think the price the guy is asking is not bad for what you would be getting. Taking it back to the correct colors is not hard to do, I could do it for you if you like. I have been restoring machine for over twenty-five years. I have done ten or so Bonus Machine in that time period.

Thanks Rebslots,
I will PM you for prices and info/pics of previous restorations etc. after I pick it up this weekend.

Just wondering if you got the machine and what you think of it.

Hi Dave,
Yes I did.... I love it! I have pulled on it everyday since bringing it home. I will take a pic sometime this weekend and post it here. I'm hooked! Looking for a second machine for myself and my brother now wants a hightop as well.
Thanks again for the help!
