I have had this machine for ten years, but now it's time to let it go, so another collector can enjoy it. The mechanism has been restored by a professional slot machine restorer in USA, who disassembled it and sandblasted the pieces. Now there is no rust in the mechanism at all.
Unfortunately it does not always pay out correctly! It will need some adjustment! Back door is a well made replica. It's hard to tell the difference from an original one.Lock is a Mills lock. There is a small hole in the left side of the cabinet, used for?
Small piece of metal back plate is missing. The decals on the sides are not original.
The front glass is a replica, I believe. However beautifully made, and hard to distinguish from an original one.
The coloured/numbered wheel is original! Some of the numbers are unreadable. Look closely at the pictures, as they are part of the description. I have made a nearly 7 minutes long video, where I in details go through the parts of the machine. If you have ANY questions, don't hesitate to ask.
I try to make this a no-surprise-deal, so the future owner will be well aware of what he gets. There is a lower reserve price. The machine will be sent in a wooden crate, well packed. (The top piece will be taken of, to make the packet smaller).
Rest of the world: Ask. I will be at the Chicagoland Show in Saint Charles at april 1st, 2nd & 3rd. Due to laws regulating the sale of antique slot machines. The item "1910 Watling counter wheel slotmachine The Excelsior (5 cents)" is in sale since Thursday, March 03, 2016.
