Question I am a 'picker', and just got a Watling Rol-A-Tor slot. The problem is that it is jam-packed with nickels, and I don't have a key. There are 2 screws that I could undo to get the lock to 'fall out', so I could empty the machine, but would it be easy to get it back together?
Answer Hello, yes it would be easy to put back together if you took the two screws off. You would just not be able to lock the machine until you found a key. Let me know if you would like to sell the machine because I would have interest in it.....Thank you Bob 630-408-8808 www.n2coniop.com
