*What are Contemporary Slot Machines
Some slot enthusiasts want to know why a slot that was originally made in the 1930s is labeled as a contemporary slot.Over the years slot collectors have made exact replacement parts in order to fix or restore a slot machine. Today a collector has access to replacement parts for the entire machine for some slot machine models.
A contemporary slot machine would consist of 80-100% of replacement parts. The slot would then be fully restored and tested to assure that it works as well as a slot that came off the factory line.
A contemporary slot generally costs $1000 -$2000 less than a slot that has very few replacement parts.
If your primary goal is to play and enjoy a slot machine with a 1930s or 1940s look, then a contemporary slot makes sense for you.
If your primary goal is to own a slot that was made in the 1930s, and has very few replacement parts, then spending the extra $1000-2000 makes sense for you and we would advise against buying a contemporary slot.
Contemporary slot machines are generally more readily available than other slot machines. It is extremely hard to determine whether a slot machine is a contemporary model or not.
Most dealers, especially on Ebay or at an auction, will not tell you. If you see a restored 1930s or 1940s style slot machine priced under $3000, it is probably a contemporary machine.

Sales of Mills Violanos continue to be strong, We have just added two single Mills Violanos (one Oak and one Mahogany case) which have recently been finished at the Haughawout shop. In addition we have a beautiful Mills Race Horse Piano that is also being offered in fully restored ready to go condition!
We also has just received the largest collection of nickelodeon, European and American orchestrion motors, extremely early open armature motors (as used in Encore Banjo machines, etc.,etc.). This group includes NOS Nelson Wiggin motors! Wurlitzer motors and transmissions, JP Seeburg motors, many Mills Novelty Violano generators (even the rare hanging Bow front motors) and many pancake motors from the early days. We haven't quite figured out how to group and sell them yet! But, if you are looking for a genuine 1920 stock motor for your restoration project, give us a call...
DON'T BE CONCERNED when other music merchants cry the sky is falling, and sing the blues to get you to accept a lower price for your for sale items. They play down the current market because they are not selling anything! NOT SO at Mills Novelty. We are very happy to again have a small supply of original Mills Violanos to offer for sale, and other items back in stock and ready for immediate sale. It is proof beyond question that Mills Novelty sells, and QUALITY items sell!
