Product Description
This comprehensive book is specifically directed to the owner of any full-size, three-reel Mills bell machine manufactured after 1920, including the puzzling BONUS, NEW BONUS and FUTURITY models. However, the knowledge gained from this book will enable the reader to work on all previously manufactured Mills machines. Over 500 detailed photographs are accompanied by step-by-step instructions for all routine maintenance operations as well as complete assembly, disassembly, overhaul, lubrication and theory of operation.

This enlarged third edition, now in its third printing, is organized into 14 chapters, with seven appendices for machine part variances, and an extensive glossary for parts identification. With this extraordinary book and a few simple tools, you will be able to analyze and correct any problem you may encounter with your Mills machine. Book includes an extensive table of contents and introductory material. Size: 8.5" x 11".

If you own a Mills slot machine you need this book. Detailed information on machine breakdown, lubrication and cleaning, theory of operation. It has gotten me past many otherwise hard to solve problems.

This book is a necessity for any serious collector of Mills bell machines. It is filled with reproductions of the original Mills sales literature, parts lists, price lists, pictures with parts callouts, etc. A treasure of information. See also Mills of the Thirties

This book is very easy to understand and is loaded with excellent photographs. Although my slot machine is a different Mills model, the book still was applicable and easy to follow. I have never worked on a slot before... yet this item, although somewhat expensive, makes the task doable and is worth every cent.

I would love to give a review of this book but the disappointing part is I still haven't received it! I ordered the book on Dec 15th, 2009 and was told it would ship between Dec 21st and January 8th. No book came. I emailed seller and was told it would ship on January 21st, 2010, it is now January 26th and still no book.
