Watling Rol-A-Top

Postby MaxEngineer » Sun Nov 29, 2015 4:56 pm

Hi folks,
i'm an young italian engineer and some months ago i bought a Watling Rol-A-Top slot machine. I'm new in the forum so i would like to share some thoughts about this item.
I'm looking for all the documentation available about my baby :D...
I want to restore its beauty...
Any suggestions?

P.s.: forgive my "spaghetti english"!

My baby:

The Model is Bird of Paradise Vendor Front. Looks like the vendor doors have the original locks which is good as the replacements are sad at best. Pale blue is not original color. Much of this machines high spots were polished and the background painted. Royal Blue, yellow, black, red were the main colors. There is lots of info online just type in Watling Rol-A-Top and go to images, you'll find many different variations of your machine but with virtually the same background colors. So how is the mechanism?

Hi Mechanic,
thanks for your message. The blue painting is not good for this slot, and i will restore the original colors. I will check on google images.
The mechanism is working good. I have disassembled some pieces and oiled them. I think only a little piece is missing, and several springs need to be replaced.
As soon as possible i'm going to upload several other photos. ;)
Do you know if i can retrieve some schematics or detailed photos of the mechanism?
Do you know some vendor of spare parts (springs, screws and the like)?
I checked yet on ebay and so on, but nothing founded...

A photo of the inner side... :)
As you can see, some springs are weak.
