We have been experimenting with some new software and
thought we would post a short video. This shows some before and after photos of
a Mills Novelty Castle Front slot machine we restored in 2011.
We have completed quite a few full restorations on Castle
Front’s, but this one is quite drastic. It was coated in multiple layers of
thick red paint on both the castings and the oak cabinet. The mechanism wasn’t
too bad inside but did contain a bit of a surprise.
The reel strips were original except for the jackpot symbols
or bars. Each bar had an old black and white photo of a half naked lady! After asking the customer about it, we found
out it was her mother! We saved the reel strips and “custom jackpot” images and
sent them back with the restored machine.
In the future we will post videos of other notable slot
machine restorations that proved to be extremely difficult or interesting.
Nice video.
