This video is amazing! Thank you so much for your work! I might be sending you a slot machine for repair. It's crazy that our educational system has devolved to where we can't say 20th-century instead of 1900s.
I was able to troubleshoot mine, thanks to you. Great video.
What a beautiful example of intricate mechanical engineering.
3:18 "eeh I fixed it" is more than enough reason to revisit this video every now and then. Would love to have one of these for the mancave
Thanks for watching. Glad it’s still getting the job done
Just bought my first Jennings and found you. Absolutely love your videos
Well done, thanks for posting
C Miller Our pleasure. Thanks for watching
I have no idea how you still all have all ten of your fingers. Currently restoring my grandfather's OD Jennings Co. 5 Cent Bronze Chief, all wood console, ca.1940. He and my dad found it in an abandoned car dealership in the early 60's and it hasn't been touched since. Still has all the nickels from the 40's. A true treasure. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge-- it gives me the confidence to go in deep!
Hi Anthony, Thanks for the nice comments and sharing your find. That is a nice machine. Thanks for watching. Jeff
Getting my head around how these things operate.I love the mechanics of them...I'm Down Under and have 2 Nutt & Muddle & Sons - a 3reel & a 4reel....Sorted the gummed up 3reel which does everything as should but the 4 reel does not pay out correctly - everything seems to be there
Watched the video and the reels are spinning like a champ. Thank you !!
Love to hear that. Glad we could help. Thanks for watching
Thank you for a very informative video that takes the mystique out of these mechanical marvels. After watching, my confidence level to working on these has increased 10 fold. You also just gained a new subscriber.
Our pleasure. Thanks for Subscribing
Great video of the basics of the machines. I was surprised at how you handled them but as you said in the video they are really built well.
Thanks for watching
This was very helpful, Thanks
Our Pleasure. Glad it could help. Thanks for watching. Jeff
Just moved my Mills machine from San Francisco, CA to Prescott, AZ. Slot did not work when it arrived at the new house. AFter watching this video, I was able to move the mechanicsm for the arm with the screwdriver as you showed in the early part of the video. The mechnism re-set itself and now the machine works well. It took all my nickles already, so it's working perfectly... Thank you so much for posting. :)
Nice job. Thanks for watching

Thx for video
PP BB our pleasure. Thanks for watching
Thank you! So useful. For me, the ingenuity of the engineering that goes into one is just stunning - and all to get people to dip into their pockets. Presently servicing a Sega Windsor. Mostly its just light rust from it being stood unused in a barn for a year - bit of cleaning and oiling but it works pretty good even as it is.
Jackbox Our pleasure. Good luck with the project. Thanks for watching. Jeff

Thank you so much for putting this information online I just stumbled on this video. I inherited a Mills 5cent Castle Front from my Grandfather over 30 years ago that was painted with silver furnace paint to disguise it as it was used in the back room of one of his businesses. I remember playing it when I was very little and was sitting on his workbench in his basement. I stripped the paint and did my best to restore it cosmetically but it has never run quite right in all the years Ive had it. It sits in a prominent place on the bar in my Rec room and I would love to get it back to 100 percent for my Grand kids.
Great to save and appreciate it. Thanks for sharing and watching our videos

Be me intoxicated on a Saturday night after gamming "I wonder how the old school pre RNG chip slot machines used to work? Pretty sure someone on youtube can explain it!" This was a great video, very entertaining and informative. I'm blown away by the level of sophistication in machines like these!
Thanks for watching.

Got an old watling from my family that as a kid we always played, it’s a nickel machine. But as in this video the wheels dont spin, I have lubed up the thing , I’ll keep you posted... this was great insight and information 🤘
Good luck. Let us know how you do. Thanks for watching. Jeff

Thanks a lot for your videos very helpful ! I have a mills fruit 5 cent machine that is missing the 3 paper reel strips do you sell these and what information do I need to get the correct strips for this machine. Thanks again for the very helpful videos Mike
I'm getting slow reels on a Jennings at the moment.. thanks for the information..👍

You need a heavy duty Lazy Susan! Great vid!😎
I’m currently trying to fix my grandads mill brand slot machine that looks very similar to the one in the video. Everything seems to be working except it isn’t spinning the wheels and slowly stopping each one anymore. I can see the bottom arm that’s supposed to do that and cannot see it moving or hear the timer going. If you have any idea why I’d love some pointers. Thanks and great video
Great video!
Thank you for watching
I’ve got a mills machine in excellent order
Here in the UK. The mechanism works beautifully however the coin escalator doesn’t seem to communicate to the mechanism that it’s got a coin and ready to play and the lever will not pull.
I’ve cleaned the coin escalator with methylated spirit but it doesn’t see the coin
Could you advise how I can fix it? I’m quite good at mechanical work just need a pointer in the right direction. Your help would be much appreciated thank you Scott.
Thanks. The WD40 helped quite a bit. I appreciated this video very much. My wheels spin way better now. I am watching again to see if I can figure out how to make them spin a bit longer. Thanks again.
Our pleasure Jack. That’s great news. Thanks for watching. Jeff
OK love your history.. I have a 952-A Bally. was my fathers because he loved this machine. Problem is I got it to pay out with three oranges but now that i greased it up and ran cloth it will not pay out,. it was old and full of nicotine cleaned it out. What am i missing? tried to reset it but to no avail...maybe my reset was not good...any information would be welcome. Also never paid out on cherries. Thanks for you support.
I have a 60s mechanical slot machine. My reels spin freely & ive oiled them, but the more spins in a row, the slower they go. They start slowing from right to left. After 10-15 spins, itll almost not event move. If i let it sit for a while, itll go back to spinning all 3 nicely. Any insight as to why it slows after a few plays in a row?
I have a Bally 809-B that I just acquired.....everything works great just one issue...its a three coin machine and starts on 2nd coin..inserting second coin it jumps to third coin.....no first coin....not are what the issue is but would be nice to be able to use 3 coins
How would you get the coins out, I have an antique briggs and stratton slot.
Re Sega Bell fault,hi Jeff thanks for reply,I'm in Twickenham UK,no chance of getting to you.Will give a good squirt and hope something will free up.Keep the revs up son. -Dave
useful vid. Exactly my machine - c. 1946 Mills - and I'll now try to get the reels going @ home; right now the symbols line up poorly if at all; cylinders are only spinning about a quarter turn if that before stopping; and all 3 are stopping at the same time instead of 1-2-3 sequence. If no joy, I'll drive it down to your shop in Orange.
Make sure you play the hell out of it. Run lots of coins through it. Make sure it works good. That’s my advice. Thanks Jim.
Have a 1937 mills bursting cherry can’t get it to pay out there is coin in the tube any help would be greatly appreciate looked at some clips on it but still can’t find the problem .
I have a triple 5 1994 machine, the no pay out on the middle reel. Any suggestions?
Hi Jeff,great videos, I have bought a nice Horse Head bonus, I have got a problem with it in that the payout fingers are coming in to early and allowing the last reel not to settle in time, I noticed on the video there was a adjustment inside the machine which I have tried to adjust with no luck, if I
move it out it gets stuck as what happened in your video. Best regards Marc (UK)
It's something small. But without being able to have it on our bench we really can't advise you. Good luck. Jeff
@@MantiquesNetworkShow Many thanks for your reply as you say it cannot be anything too bad, great videos of machines you dont see in the UK.

Speaking very elegant!
Do you have any idea where I might be able to purchase a reel for my 1980 Williams/Seeburg slot machine?
I have a 1975 (I think) Aristocrat Regal Super 223). We took the machine apart with your video and got everything working great. When the reel goes back in, are the wheels lined up a certain way. After spinning them and not paying attention, we just put the reel holder back in. Should there be a sequence? Thanks, your video let us do this at home.
No, there is no sequence. They’re random. Sorry. Thanks for watching
This is a great video. Thank you.
I have a 1900's four-reel machine labeled Fitzgerald's 'Buckaroo' and a three-reel machine out of Harvey's Casino. The coin advance does not work on either machine. Can you do a video on how the coin advancing function works? Thank you in advance.
Robert Hughes hi Robert. Thank you for watching. Let’s see what we can do.
I have a 1970's Bally Pyramid one armed bandit and it seems to only engage every few times when i put 2 pences in it. Somebody mentioned that maybe a pin that the 2p triggers needs adjusting, any ideas?
Have you done a video on how to disassemble the wheels so as to really clean and lube them? And most importantly on how to reassemble them?
Sorry Dan. We haven't produced anything like that. Thanks for watching
Jeff
I have an early model mills. The wheel closest to the arm is loose and a bit wobbly on the shaft. The bells will not pay out, and other payouts are affected as well. Any thoughts? Love your informative videos! Awesome!
Hi Dave. Thanks for watching our video. Unfortunately it could be a whole host of issues and tweaks that could be causing your problem. Without the benefit of having it on our own workbench we really can’t advise you. If you are local to our shop we invite you to bring the unit down for us to take a look at. Thanks Jeff

Liked and subscribed GREAT Channel Thank you
Thank you.
Hi so glad i came upon your channel. I have a half dollar mills slot and i have question on where /who i can contact for replacent parts.namely all my springs are shot or missing and i need to replace them any help/direction for those and other stiff like wheel graphics would be so appreciated
Hi David. We only do full restorations and do not offer parts or technical service. I have no idea who might be able to help you in your area. Not easy to find. Good luck
Hi, anyone know where i can get a Jennings slot, repair manual? paper or pref PDF.
I have a old machine similar to the one shown but it does not pay out and the coin tube is full, I do see a spring hanging down up top behind where you put the coins in the slot, any help would be appreciate
Hi Doug. That does sound odd. It could be anything. If you are located in Southern California feel free to give us a call and schedule a time to bring it by for us to take a look at it. Thanks for watching Jeff
You seem like a great guy, wish I could buy from you but I'm on the other side of the globe so I'm buying over here ;)
We ship globally
@@MantiquesNetworkShow Ah interesting, I'll definitely keep that in mind. I already bought a Black Cherry but I'll probably want more once we settle into our new place. Cheers!
Hello from B.C Canada, I have recently purchased a Ballys slot machine E-1112-36, it is a 1-6 25cent machine. I do not know what the model# of it is and nothing inside the machine shows it. Anything about this machine would be helpfull. Sorry, this has 3 reels
My mills slot machine is jammed because my kids stuffed some pennies down the slot. How much would it be to repair it?
I love the mechanics. I have a question. Do these machines really work random in regards to win or lose. Or is there some system in that guarantees that the machine takes in more then it pays out?
Strictly "Random". You have about a 8000/1 chance to hit the Jackpot. Thanks for watching.
@@MantiquesNetworkShow Thank you very much for your video and your fast answer

I have a Aristocrat machine and the arm for the payout that goes into the disc don’t stay retracted to allow the reels to spin. As soon as the handle is released the arm lock the first reel to the left. I see no adjustment or how the arms are delayed till the reels are stopped by the dogs. Any ideas or a phone number to contact you.
I have a Mills Golden Nugget and it was working perfect, but yesterday the handle cocking mechanism stopped working. Can anyone help
hi, schematic bally 1071-5?
Hi, thanks for you Video. I have one question: I accidentally slid out one of the money levers in the front (those slides with the hole in the middle connected with a spring on the back) It was stuck so and wont get back in place. So I slid out the lever above and "hooked" in the underlaying lever. No all is back in place and the amounts of pay off are all right as well. Could I have damaged something or is this construction "idiot-proof" and I do not need to worry. Would really appreciate a short answer. Regards from Germany.
"idiot-proof"
Thank you 😊
I have been wanting machines for some time just can't afford one yet :( I should start saving up I like the history of them
Road Runner Thanks for watching. We do offer layaway plans if you are interested
Can you help me and explain how to remove the glass pane on the front a Watermelon Mills slot machine. I have one pane that is cracked and would like to replace it. All that is shown on you tube is explanations for the mechanism which is not helpful. Took the 4 screws out around the glass frame on the inside of the machine and thought I could access the glass but still cannot. It is loose but cannot remove to replace glass.
Great video!! I acquired a 1935 Mills Castle slot machine. There is an original note from the manufacturer that says "This machine is provided with OIL HOLES in main operating lever and reel operating lever. At least ONCE A MONTH oil parts with regular machine oil." My problem (i.e. ignorance) is that I'm not sure which "holes" they are referring to. Can you help?

I don't know anything about this . I have a WWII buddy that repaired these machines back in the 60s through the early 80s he just amazes me how much knowledge he has . He used to repair cigarette machines and Seeberg Juke boxes to when they had a route. I want to get Mills from the 20s through the 50s and restore it but don't know how to do it. Can I buy parts from you? Very interesting video thanks
Thanks for watching and the compliments. Unfortunately we don’t sell any parts. Jeff
@@MantiquesNetworkShow Oh ok just watched a video on the Mills Bonus Cheat Machine from the 40s I am Auto and Marine Tech and the mechanics of that gave me a head ache I am blown away how in the hell did they engineer that so many years ago no computer just a slide rule and drawings I am so blown away and I am in awe thanks for the reply
I have a Buckley and I got the back off and the insides out....but I'm lost! It got jammed about 3 years ago. 5 cent Buckley Criss Cross.
Debra Thuet it’s probably something simple. If we could get it on our bench in Southern California we could figure it out.
I have a Mills HiTop 10 cent with the reserve jackpot mechanism. It works fine but I'm interested in how the jackpot mechanism operates. Any chance you will ever do a video on how this operates?
We will try and fit one in. Thanks for watching
Videos for my U.K. Sega Crazy Bells one armed bandit are available here on RUclips
Do you have a video of the jackpot mechanism operation for the Mills Black Cherry? Specifically, the auxiliary jackpot is not releasing after a jackpot payout.
Not at at this time
Is it possible to rig these machines? Ala an episode of "The Untouchables" where a guy got in trouble with the mob for putting weights in the machine somewhere
I have a Dunes antique slot machine. The sticker on the inside says it was last checked in 1995. All of the sudden the sound stopped working. Do you have any idea how to fix the problem? It happened when we moved it from one location to another.
Sorry. Unfortunately, without seeing that we can’t really help you and we don’t offer any kind of services. Good luck with that. Thanks for watching the video.
My Golden Nugget 50 Cent. handle is not working n. I got to see the inside so I can figure out how to fix it. I took it apart and still can't fix. it need your help. Ty
I’m sorry. But we have retired and are no longer offering any personal services. Good luck & thanks for watching.
I love the show. I usually work on em pinballs etc. Just picked up an em Bally 952 -D slot. It's got to be out of the silver city casino out there because it's got the front panel on it. Anyway, I can't find any info about this model and the first reel only spins occasionally. I'm hoping it's just gummed up. What's the best place to start and where can I find info on this? I'm guessing it's early 70s. 25 cent 3 coin. Thanks.
Thanks for watching our show. Unfortunately there is no 1-stop to find. We use books like "SLOT MACHINES First 100 Years" books. Google for your information and possible vendors. eBay for parts. Good luck. Jeff
@@MantiquesNetworkShow thanks Jeff. Keep up the good work. Hopefully I'll get my place worthy enough for you guys to make a trip out one day to check it out.
Does it have to do with horizontal pay fingers? Can they be accessed without pulling entire bundle?
Mine pays on every pull
It most likely has to do with a Vertical fingers tapping a Horizontal pay finger. The fix is : play the mechanism , see which Vertical Pay Finger is tapping the Horizontal, if so bend it away until it clears. Good luck . Jeff

Hi, We have used all of our coins and it hasn't paid out how would I go about getting the coins out of this machine please? apologies if you've already made a video please link me :)
Greetings! I have a mills that is shorting me one dime on all the payouts except 3 dime cherry payout. This is an improvement as the 10 never payed before. I removed and cleaned all the payout sleds and found a dime jammed between two of the brass (bronze?) sleds. Thrilled to see oranges pay for the first time I’ve ever seen. But payed 9 instead of 10. Plums 13 not 14. Any ideas? Amazing content I feel like a dummy here 😂
The video is the best we can do. Unless its on our bench it could be anything. Thanks for watching
My Bally Money Honey Model 742A slot machine does not always pay out, especially on one or two cherries. Is this something I can fix?
We would have to see it. If you and close enough to our shop in Orange CA feel free to bring.

Can you adjust the payout rate? My Golden Nugget is tight!
We retired.
Great video guys! I traded a gentleman an implant and a crown for a (1937) Mills dime slot machine. Looking at pics on the internet, it looks to be the Futurity. Worked great for about 4 months then on intermittent pulls the wheels would spin freely and slow to a stop, never engaging with the reel stops. Noticed the clock would not spin unless manually assisted. I've given it a good once-over with WD40, hitting all the moving parts but I only get about 2 spins out of it before the problem repeats. Same guts as you're working on in this video. Any insight? Thanks a bunch! - Scott
It could be anything Scott. Without being able to look at it and touch it we really can’t tell you much more than this video does. If you’re in Southern California in the orange area feel free to stop by with it. Thanks Jeff
might be weak springs not holding the "charge" it gets from the fork I think they call it.
Futurity was a nifty concept, like the horse head bonus, it meant you closer to a win! I read how some of them were rigged to pay cherries just before the end thus cancelling the higher payout.

Hi Jeff,gave my Sega Bell a good spray still no pay out when it should,have put loads of coins in only a few came out.How many coins do you have to feed it so's to speak for it to begin to pay out.No coins going into bank /profit box.Regards Dave in UK

My 47 mills quarter machine pays out way to much. It has 7 cherries on the first and on the second reels. So it hits cherries way to much. It will dump the tube regularly. How do I regulate that?
Hi Charles. Thanks for watching our video. Without it being on our workbench is kind a hard for us to determine really what the problem is. Jim’s first guess is that somebody put In the wrong real.

Hi Julie. Thanks for watching. Feel free to send pictures to info@mangtiquesnetwork.com and we will see if we can help you. Thanks Jeff
The Mantiques Network the reason im working on this is because the arm of the machine moves freely and does not cause the machine to take the money and spin the wheels. I'm sending a few pictures and have circled in red where i think my problem is.
I appreciate any guidance you can give me. My family has owned this machine for about 50 years, i believe.

Hello I'm new here and I was wondering if you know anything about a bally slot machine; model 1089-222. with a summit systems tag above it that says; model# 142363

I have a 1946 Mills Black Cherry quarter Slot Machine. It either pays nothing or 3 quarters for 1 cherry, rather than 2, and 6 quarters, rather than 5, for 2 cherries. Everything else seems to pay out correctly. Do you have a video showing, or suggestions as to what to look for, adjust or clean, lube? The machine had been cleaned and serviced before I bought it but it's not practical to ship it back and forth every time some little something get out of adjustment. I'm mechanically minded and can do the work but I'd rather start with some guidelines rather than blindly tearing into it. Any comments you can make will be greatly appreciated.
Hi. Thanks for watching our video. Unfortunately without having it in front of us we have no idea what to tell you. It could be a whole host of things. Sorry about that. Good luck. Jeff
Got it figured out. Someone had shimmed the payout slides to pay out the extra coins.
Mr. Harleyhound Well done 👍🏻
I got a Ball 777 machine. It paysoff at Orange, Bell, Bar. Don't know why. Any Idea?
No idea unless we can see it. If you are in Southern California please feel free to b ring it by so we can take a look at it for you. Thanks Jeff
Maybe i missed it. Where are you guys located?
Orange, CA. Google it. If you plan on stopping by call first to confirm that Jim will be there. Thanks
@@MantiquesNetworkShow It would be great to stop by,
but I'm on the East Coast. I wasn't sure where you Guys were..
