Mills Bursting Cherry One Arm Bandit Circa 1940s / 50s Penny Machine

Not sure of the year but there were PLENTY of these around the Seaside Amusement Arcades in the 1950s

The engineering on the inside of that machine is astonishing.

Well what a surprise, I never knew you had a Bursting Cherry ! But then again, why should I? There is something about them that sets them apart from the Segas and Hi tops. The only thing I don't like is the fact that a single cherry doesn't pay. I have a Mills High Top on 1D that is the same although oranges pay 8 and plums, bells and bars pay 12. Yours is a nice example and plays well considering how old it is. I like them and always have and just one question Rob, If you ever think of ............!!!!! Yet again another excellent video. Thank you

I love it. Unfortunately you cannot find these in Spain. We started building fruit machines back in the 70s.... Thanks for the video

This is a proper one-armed bandit. Love that machine. Only tic-tac-toe is better

The work that's gone into this....I can see why folk want it.

Enjoying this. I’d ask though whether those red circles above the reels are original. Also, beneath the big cherry on the front is a square panel of which I wonder if it had anything in it? Thanks as usual Rob.

stigotron This machine is all original and came out of Jacksons Marine pastimes which you know very well

Love it thanks for telling us about dagger handle ?? also back door opening tell those interested Rob if you can pull the handle and get three lemons on the win line I will sell it I think that is a impossibility ??? Only one pull brilliant video thanks

Andrew Smith Lemons on this machine were NO GOOD to the player, there is no Lemon on reel 2 so 3 Lemons wasn't possible
