Wonder of Wonders!
Just when I thought that I would never-ever see one of these, Up it Pops!
Yes Ladies & Gentlemen, you are looking at the only known surviving example, of the Watling "Twin Jackpot",
with the 'SUPER RARE' Willie Wonka conversion front. Too bad someone got happy with the blue paint, as the
casting would look much more impressive, in it's original plain aluminum state. It is also missing the side-mount
Chocolate Vender, which does bring the value down a tad.
Enjoy!

I POLITELY notified the flebay seller that this machine was missing the FV.
Here is the reply:
Thank you for giving me that information. I honestly didn't know that. I have never sold a Watling Machine before and wasn't aware that this was part of a "vending" model, however, I did think it strange that it had such a plain front (around the jackpot area), so. I have revised my listing and added the information you provided and adjusted the price somewhat. Thank you very much for taking the time to send me the information!

I just checked and the listing has indeed been revised and the price lowered.
If anyone has the FV for this model, it might be a good deal and the FV would cover much of the circus paint job.
