Early Rol-A-Top, the mech is the correct one for this cabinet including the fortune telling reel strips. My guess is it left the factory like this, that’s the good news. The bad news is, every color on it is wrong, the mech and cabinet hardware which is why it looks so clean. Always best to leave original patina when possible. It also appears the top casting has been plated which is not good as it is hard to remove. This can be determined by removing the mech and seeing the a photo of the inside of the top casting. Looks like it was a nice complete original to start with and yes the lock is a replacement, didn’t notice cash if cash box was there. Looks like this was a nice machine to start with but overpriced. Buy a 3 day pass on Dave’s Price guide and look at completed sales as opposed to what people are asking. If you like the look of this machine, negotiate with the owner.
