Reproduction Watling Derby. Built in 1904, The original Watling Derby was short-lived. Today there are only two partially original machines existing. According to well known coin-op experts, the Watling Derby is considered one of the rarest and most sought-after coin operated machines. Two years have been spent on the engineering and building of this machine that will be offered at the auction. From an appearance standpoint, the machine looks and functions exactly like the original. It takes a nickel to place your bet on the color of your choice. If you pick the winning color there is a 5-1 payoff, so if you put in one nickel, you can win back 5. The mechanism is electro-mechanical, meaning we used some of the original design and engineering and added some modern technology that makes this machine fun as well as reliable. There have been a total of five machines like this built, but only one is being offered for sale. There will be no further production of these due to the amount of effort and cost involved in the building of them. Don’t miss out on this great investment opportunity.
