Thank you everyone, given me a lot of food for thought!
Yes we have managed to source a few extras (some not original as we could not find them!) we added the skill stop which at the moment isn’t connected inside as we found when we tried to install it we found the cogs didn’t fit next to the reels so it seems we need to move the reels over slightly to make space - we haven’t tried to tackle this yet.
Yes the locks aren’t original watling, we couldn’t find these at the time so got something as similar as we could.
We also still need the spindle that dispenses the mints at the bottom of the machine.
So do you think it’s worth repainting the horn of plenty to change it back to the original gold? Or just leave it be?
Also, I was hoping for some advice on the best way to very gently clean the reels? So as not to damage the printing on them. Or is it better to leave them as they are?
The coins we currently have which came with the machine are actually tokens (like you said it has been in the French market, we got it from Belgium). I’ve attached a photo, we have been looking for some more that will work as we’ve tried a few very similar coins/tokens with no luck. I will try the Francs that you mentioned if you think these will work as we definitely could do with more of them to fully fill the machine.
Thanks again
