Re: Watling Blue Seal
I have no experience on these machines but looks like could be a future/deferred pay flag window?
Others with more experience will be along with precise answer

Re: Watling Blue Seal
it is a "future pay" feature window I believe and would require a matching mech,do you have the correct mech?

Re: Watling Blue Seal
Thanks for your answers!
The machine has no assembly for future play. I think if it ever has one, it was removed long time ago. A sheet of paper was glued on the window.

I don't know if you need the reel strips but there is a copy of the 10-stop strips in Resources.

Re: Watling Blue Seal
Thanks fot this information
I have used old sheet metal stripes which i had in stock. OK, they have some scratches, but i like them.
It´s still some work, i have to bushed the clock and install a future play display.

Here is a Watling gooseneck mechanism with a working future pay feature that is visible in the small window to the left of the first reel.

Re: Watling Blue Seal
Much thanks for the picture!
I've got a lot of help from USA some time ago. Special thanks to CoinOpCollectorForum.com.
Meanwhile i rebuild the payout system to max 20 coins payout. It was reduced to max. 10 coins payout when it was converted for German post war market.
I cast the missing slides in brass (original was cast iron), drill the coin holes and reaming them "in packages" .
The future pay system was reconstructed by using a cast iron blank part for the "Finger" on the payout slides. The levers are forged steel parts.
Also a lot of work at the clockwork, i changed some gears...
Still some work, but it´s a beautiful machine
