Watling 5 cent Rol A Top machine

[ariescrown]

Is there anywhere I can get replacement parts for this machine ? Specifically I am looking for a replacement for the long spring attached to the machines handle.
Also my machines number is either 84718 or 84719 .. Can anyone tell by that what year my slot mas built in ? Thanks to all...

Hi, I've seen individual springs and complete spring replacement kits for Watlings listed on Ebay. You can also find them, as well as many other parts, at http://www.mrslot1.com/. As to the date of your machine's date of manufacture, "Slot Machines of Yesteryear - Watling Operator's Companion" suggests that your serial number was probably made in 1937.

Thank You for this valuable Information. It's nice to know you can still get these parts. Glad to know my machine is so old. Someone had told me many years ago that it was probably built in 1945. Sometime in the future I will be looking for this same machine in a 25 cent denomination.
