Nice Watling!

You can find parts there, as well as Ebay. Im unsure of a dedicated Watling Parts Site, but if yours is working,
Youll likely not need any HTF Parts.

As Far as restoration, Purists will appreciate the nice original condition yours is in, executing only a good cleaning on the
outside, and a clean and lube inside. Likely the better choice for "Value" retention.

A full restoration can be done, if you wish. It isnt too hard to restore the cabinet and polish/plate metal and repaint.

If you need any manuals, I likely have several that I was going to throw up on Ebay, that you might like.

Quoted from mjthompson:

I'm definitely interested in the manuals you're planning on selling. Please let me know what you've got. I have do have Geddes' "Owner's Pictorial Guide" for Watling slots that I picked up many years ago and it seems pretty good.

Good Book. I checked thru the Pile, About 10 are General Slot History/Picture Books. Others are guides for other Manufacturers.

The One I find now related to Watling, is the Watling Operators Companion.....Slot Machine of YesterYear.

All Watling Pics, Info, and some schematics.Hardcover version
$22 inc shipping....Excellent, Like New.
