Living in the UK it is almost impossible to find Watling parts. I know in the USA it is also difficult but there is more than a chance there than here. I have been looking for a Watling Rol-A-Top mechanism for almost two years. Any denomination will do as long as the mechanism and escalator are complete.
I will be staying in Laguna Woods, California for the first two weeks of October. I would be willing to drive around 100 miles to pick one up and take it home with me. I can offer $1,000.00. This is just for a complete mechanism. I know what complete Rol-A-Tops sell for in un-restored condition so I hope someone will consider my offer. If you have a R.A.T. mechanism for sale or know someone that does then please send me a PM.
Fingers crossed, thanks, Lol (Laurence)
