Hi guys. Looking at purchasing a Mills high top and would like you opinion. Does this machine look original or is it a reproduction? I appreciate your thoughts.

Thanks...I was worried as there are not too many 25c machines. I'll have a good look inside when I go to check it out. Pay tables look correct?

YOUR MACHINE IS ORIGINAL CASINO STYLE. NO ONE I'M AWARE OF BOTHERED TO REPRO THOSE CASTING AS THEY ARE SO COMMON. AGREE THERE ARE WAY TOO MANY 25C HITOPS. HOW TO TELL IF IT'S AN ORIGINAL 25C OR BEEN MODIFIED IS TO LOOK AT THE BOTTOM OF THE MECH. IF IT HAS SCREWS TO HOLD THE SLIDE POSTS THEN IT HAS BEEN MODIFIED. IT MAY HAVE BEEN A 5C OR 10C AT ONE POINT. MILLS MADE ALL THEIR MACHINES WITH RIVOTED POSTS IN THE BASE OF THE MECH. IT'S STILL AN ORIGINAL NOT A REPRO BUT IF IT HAS SCREW ON POSTS IT'S BEEN MODIFIED.
