Howdy,
   The pin tube socket holds a four pin tube, called a rectifier. It changes A.C. current to D.C. current.
D.C. current is what runs your Mills Hopper. I will look to see if I have a tube that will work for you. It is old
technology, even at that time your machine was designed and built.

Yes Sir, Monti.
       I recall two great shops with  Slots, the one in Reno was on the second floor downtown. Do not remember any more the building they were in and one in Las Vegas in the Casino ?. They all look the same inside to me.  No, I do not have any history in Reno, just knew fella's their. I recall when the M.G.M. opened with the Classic Machines and were the locals and tourists, not a bit happy playing them.
Do you know name of the book  you mentioned. I recall ever seeing it & what machines did it cover?.
Have any thing you want to trade at present..

Chief!
Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner but I haven't been getting notices on replies here, spend more time on CoinOp as they deal more with the older antique slots which I specialize in!
Here is a picture of the parts catalog from 1990, it had parts for Jennings, Pace and Mills and cabinets and castings as well!

Sam,
    You need a 12AU7A OR A 6EA8 TUBE.
I am pretty sure it's the 12AU7A TUBE YOU NEED.

I do not have any @ the moment. E-Bay should be able to take care of you or a antique radio tube for sale supplier. Good luck.

The 12AU7A is a great amplifier tube, also look up the tube on Wilkeup.  It also makes a excellent Rectifier as well.
About 2/3 the way down the page.

Sam 2002,
    I found a 12AU7A tube. You can have the tube for free, if you would pay the shipping. Hopefully the tube puts you in business.
