Coin Slot

You take your old Operators Bells which were cast iron and are al
ready valuable.
But then the models made right after them nobody
is pushing very
much, but those are the machines that are going to
come into their own.
And there's a lot of those machines out there.
Today the Watling Rol-A-Top seems to be the language of many col
lectors because it was such a beautiful machine, but only in looks.
We called them the pile of tin for so many years.
That was what they
sounded like when they paid off and that's what they looked like
when you were working on them.
I just wanted to get all this off my chest.
But I hate to do this to some
of the collectors because I think I might be throwing monkey wrenches
into what they think are beautiful collections, but aren't yearwise.
Yearwise many of them have got part of this and part of that and what
have they got?
As far as the collectors go, I bet some of their restorations look real
nice, but they aren't doing it like the factory did.
The thing that
hurts is when they say they are doing it like the factory did it, but in
reality, aren't.
It could cause hard feelings in some cases.
