How does a Superior Races Payout?

[thepennyarcade]

Hi Forum
I was scrolling thru my picture file this am and came across the Superior Confections Horse Race Machine.
I think I can see a similarity to the Jennings Little Duke mechanism, but reel discs horizontal and not vertical.
But I noticed that the vertical payout fingers do not go thru the reel disc holes.
So, how do the vertical fingers move the payout slides???
Can someone help me or show me some pictures?
Thanks
John

The mechanism is actually a Watling mechanism.

It works exactly the same. What you don't see is another set of vertical fingers on their back which go into the payout discs. The vertical fingers on their back are connected to the ones on the left with steel rod. If you look at the picture of the mech, you can see the steel rod for the cherry pay. So it is just another set of fingers and rod working the fingers that look like they are not being used. The mech is make up of Watling mech parts, Mills FOK mech parts and new parts made by Superior to tie it all together. The reels spin on a Watling reel bundle that is laid on its back. Entire machine is very clever.
