Watling cycling handle

[damikeguy]

I am looking for a Watling cycling handle. For cycling the machine out of the case.This is a picture of one kind I found on FleBay. The seller does not ship to the US.
Thanks, Mike

Instead of buying a slot machine mechanism operating bar, I just made one out of a piece of steel from the hardware store. One of the holes at the bottom is of a smaller diameter, for Mills and Jennings slots, while the other is for Watling slots. I drilled out the holes in the bar for those diameters. See photo.

Mike - I have an original WATLING mech servicing tool that I'd sell. Cast iron with a screw that allows you to secure it to the mech while working. Has Watling Mfg cast into the handle. Drop me an email if you'd like a photo/details. -John coinopgeek@gmail.com

Mike, If you do not decide to take the handle from John, I would be interested. I an NOT trying to start a bidding war. Fred

Someone was making reproductions of these original Watling cycling tools.
They were made out of aluminum, and you had to drill and tap the thumbscrew thread to complete the handle for use.
I have seen a couple on Ebay, but it's been a while.
