I bought this Mills on ebay here in the UK and its interesting because it was clearly made for the UK market, It may have had a 1d escalator but may never had had one as the coin was large but thin and did not work well in an escalator ,it almost certainly never had a jackpot as variable payouts were not allowed in the uK at that time. The mech is original and has no jackpot parts at all including the stub on the coin slide cover. It was in a bad way as you can see and the sides were covered in formica sheets (done before the machine went into service)I took off the formica to reveal brand new oak sides . I removed all the paint and resprayed the castings and its coming back to life now, not finished yet. May decide to not fit a JP as that is how it was supplied but might try for an escalator if i can find a 2p version which is what the machine ended up set to. The payouts are a bit unusual, The payout plate actually says "three bars in a line over,below or on the line pays 18 " not 'any position' just straight lines only, anyone seen this payout before?
