Thanks to Scott, Pictures of the 1938, nickle Pinball Machine can be found
at the link below.

If you're interested in this machine, We live in Phoenix and we are moving
and need to sell this,

Pictures now online at:

Still looking for a buyer for this machine. We live in the Metro Phoenix
area and would like to find a local buyer or someone that might be passing
through due to the expensive freight.

This pinball machine is a 1938 Mills, 1-2-3 Slot Pinball Machine. It is
a one ball machine. When the ball hits a bumper it turns one of the three
windows on the upright display to a different fruit. It is just like a slot
machine. If you end up with a winning combination of fruit, bars, etc like
on a slot machine this pinball machine will pay your winnings in nickles
This is the machine that gave pinball machines a bad reputation.We have the
spinning reels Fruit Version, one coin nickle. 1938 is what is printed on
the direction sheet.

The outside of the machine was refurbished a few years ago and is in
very good condition. The pinball machine does work but needs more work on
the electrical board to bring it back to good working condition. A pinball
repair man said that the electrical board needed a couple of parts, a
capacitor and a resister. These two bad parts causes low voltage and when
the ball hits a bumper the ball does not balance off the bumper very far.

I did not have the parts replaced at that time because I was looking
for other original parts to replace the defective ones in order to maintain
the machines value.

Thanks,
K
