Hey, this is my first post here and I need help to identify my machine so I can hopefully get it back to working condition. I've included pictures I thought might be relevant but I can take more if needed.

It is Mills EM machine from the late 60's to mid 70's. I personally haven't worked on them but the mechanical part if it is the same as the old mechanical slots and most of the parts are available.
Send me a PM and I will give you my phone # so I can help you if you want.

I don't know anything about EM slots, so I can't help you,
but I'm glad you posted the photos; I find them interesting for 2 reasons:

1. They show how Mills transitioned from mechanical to EM; I see a lot of familiar parts and other parts with wires that I don't have a clue what they do.

2. Zimba's didn't last long; it was a Reno casino from 1969 to 1972; apparently the Nevada gaming Board revoked their license for not playing by the rules.

I remember Zimba's not lasting long, but didn't remember the time-frame.
If your years are correct, this sorta dates the machine, does it not?
Don't imagine there were very many of this model produced, as it is not one you see often.
