Pinball Machines

1936 mills pinball post time horse race pay-out machine. Click to view image album. Recently found at a local yard sale this rare 1-ball, 1936 mills pinball trade stimulator is called post time. This is more than a pinball machine or a non-paying trade stimulator.

This machine actually pays-out in a small, almost hidden draw at the bottom. I tried to do some searching on the net and was only able to find a couple of references to this very rare mills gambling machine.

I did find this reference on line in encyclopedia of pinball volume 1, page 174. It reads, player inserts one to seven nickels in seven slots across the top betting on any of the seven horses (one nickel per horse). Cranking the handle on front of cabinet registers the coins, and the solid aluminum arm at top of playing field begins to slowly rotate around the post time clock, which is a circular display of payoff amounts for win, place, and show. A carefully timed single ball is shot into play and passes through the top gate which stops the rotating arm to set the odds. The ball then falls into a numbered hole in lower playfield to win, place, or show. If that numbered horse was paid for at start of game, a payout is made. The machine pays up to 200 coins for a winning bet. This game measures approximately 23 inches wide by 46 inches long by 42 inches tall. For many years it was used at alberts diner in valley falls, r.

Until just recently it was stored away in a local garage. The machine is in wonderful condition and only needs detailing. The game board will clean up as perfect as the day it was made and there is no wear to the graphics. The paint on the outside is the original first paint and the case is solid with no repairs. After some searching the last owner found the legs. The tops of these legs have an aluminum casing. One of these casing is missing as are the lag bolts used to attach them to the case. The last owner is searching for them and says there is a chance they are still there some ware. Keep checking down below the description for future information.

Of course the keys are missing so i cannot get inside this machine. I know this is a problem as you want to see what is inside.

I have been able to see partially inside with a flashlight and i guarantee that this pinball machine is complete. I know in the right hands this rare mills pay-out pinball machine can be made playable and ready to display.

Some ebayer will get a chance, because there is no reserve! I cannot find one reference to it anywhere on the net. I also have listed a rare 1935 capehart orchestrope m1w coin-op jukebox all from the same 1930s rhode island restaurant, and all listed without a reserve. Our #1 concern is your satisfaction & repeat business! We will extend our guarantee for as long as you need to be totally satisfied!!
