Does anybody know anything about Load Sega slot machines built in the 1960's? There value or even parts availability. I know that they have Mills parts, but thats about it. Thanks.

I know that my brother had or had somemechanical Sega machines that were clones of Mills machines, not sure of age or value, but thought they were older, maybe 50s, and seemed to think they were going for $500-$800 a few years back, I'll ask him when I speak to him.  I believe they were a dark reddish with blue, and he may still have some.

Here are a couple of pictures of the Lord Sega machine

SEGA started life in 1957 as Service Games of Nevada, a Vegas-based Mills distributor. Originally they rebuilt Mills games to order for customers who had a particular configuration in mind, using genuine Mills parts to begin with. To cut costs, they reverse engineered the Mills components and had them made locally. Then they moved overseas, setting up operations in Spain and Japan and marketing their machines to American overseas service bases. When gaming was legalized in Britain they made a deal with the British Bally distributor and became a top seller in Britain, introducing many new models (including the Lord Sega) specially tailored to British taste. That's the main reason you don't see many of them in the US - an overseas market that took all they could produce. Sega Enterprises of Tokyo eventually became a fully Japanese maker of video games, while Sega SA of Spain became quite a big player in the AWP market and was absorbed by (I believe) Recreativos Franco.

The mechanical models don't deviate much from the Mills Hitop mechanism, and Mills parts are mostly interchangeable - not that anyone can be sure these days that any parts are genuine Mills, since all the distributors cloned them enthusiastically.
