Music Box mechanism from coin-op Mills & Caille Bros. Slot Machine - No Reserve
Price: US $761.01

Here\'s a rare opportunity to purchase an original, restored, 10 tune musical movement that was made by Mermod Freres of Ste. Croix, Switzerland in the very late 1800\'s, specifically for use in the \'high-end\' gambling machines of Mills &/or Caille Bros., from here in America. The serial number stamped on several components date the pieceto 1895-96, and it well could have been installed in a wide variety of their upright console type slot machines, even twins or triples, such as the: Venus, Detroit, Lone Star, Forty Five, Puck, Black Cat, Centaur, Big Six, or Eclipse.

If your one of those lucky enough to own any of these great & highly desirable machines, I\'m positive you\'ll want to see an original music down below, rather than a replaced, non-original movement that would detract from it\'s value & appreciation by other knowledgeable collectors. This plays 10 bright arrangements, a few of which feature that new, evil type of music that use that nasty syncopation. It was all the rage & somewhat scandalous at the time, but it was the beginning of that uniquely American music genre, called \'Ragtime\'!

Just to the right of the governor, is found a steel guide roller or bearing, which aligns & firmly would hold in place an plunging, iron/steel rack gear, thatprovided the driving load to operate the music unit. That rack gear was linked to either the crank or pull lever of the slot machine. All the stop/start fingers/linkages are intact & fully functional, as is the tune change snail, etc... I made a small riser-base under, similar to that which it would be mounted to inside the machine itself, but this may need adjustment or another build to be a perfect fit in your machine.Measures overall: 15\" width x 7\" height x 6\" depth.
