A while back I acquired a Mills High Top from a local seller that I found through Craigslist. The machine was not functioning, but appeared to be reasonably complete. The price was right, so I bought the machine and brought it home.
I've worked on several slot machines in the past, but this will be my first complete tear-down and ground-up restoration. I decided that documenting the process would be a good exercise for me and might prove valuable to other collectors contemplating a similar restoration, so I built this blog to serve as my restoration diary.
Hopefully the end result will be an attractive and fully-functioning slot machine.
One caveat, however: I'm in no hurry. I'm going to be tackling this project bit by bit as time permits, and I have no deadlines to meet, so the restoration may take a while.
