1949 Token Bell

Hi, new to the forum so I hope I do this correctly. I bought a 1949 Mills Token Bell and need a couple parts. I'm not sure what it's called but I need this Aluminum casting that goes around the outside bottom of the machine. I'm guessing it acts as some kind of a trim ring. If my pictures attach correctly you'll see I'm pointing to the area with my finger.

Also, I think it is missing some part(s) of the special lock that holds the extra token or prize lock. Right now it just lifts off the machine. You will notice on the machine two small holes- is something missing from there? I have the keys for that special lock, and the lock turns, but the lock doesn't seem to have a long enough reach to grab the machine. I'm sure something must be missing.

Finally, does anyone have the glass part for that lock? As you can see mine is broken. Feel free to contact me at hwtap@yahoo.com if you can help clear things up or have parts you'd like to sell.

Thank You
Tom

Hello,

The part you are looking for is a "Money Bowl Apron". There is a guy in Vegas who has a box full. I just purchased one from him a few weeks ago. He has both the smooth and ribbed style. Your machine requires the ribbed. You may need to repaint the ribs to make it match your game. I will PM you his contact info and you can check with him for pricing and shipping.

As for the glass. I do not believe the guy in Vegas will have it. You may need to check with Dave Berten for that. I'll include his info in the PM.
