Hello,

I posted this question and want to be sure that it was received. I purchased what was stated as a 1948 Mills High Top Blue Bell Special Edition 7-7-7 $10.00 machine ( 5 cent ). I want to be sure that it is authentic and not a reproduction. I will post photos for your reply and thank you in advance.

from the pictures you posted, other than paint, machine appears original.
can't tell about inside, as no photo's.

Thanks for your reply Modern Vintage....... other replies would be appreciated as well.

I purchased it for close to $550.00 and it was stated non working so I would like to know what is its value fully restored into operation. And what are restoration prices?

Thanks!

If you want a price quote for restoration services, you will have to let us know where you live,
so that you can be directed to someone in your area. It wouldn't be cost effective to send a
slot machine of this type across the country for work. You would be talking $100+ each way,
on top of the restoration charges.
