Most likely no more than 10 years old. Illegal to sell on Ebay I believe. [-X

several giveaways:
no handle pump inside case.
incorrect payout card... 30's machines don't pay on one cherry.
case has no steel rods running through the base. originals have 2.
mechanism has plated parts.
handle is extended for easier pull.
back door is flat. originals are stamped / 3 dimensional.

This is where the machine was most likely made. I think they started in business in 1991 but I think they are now out of business. They most likely produced a lot of the fakes that are now out there. http://royalbell.com/mills_classic.htm
