Wrong book.  My bad

Alternatively, if you have a decent library that is connected to the open library  (even ours is) , you can have them request it.

Amazon link is different book and much cheaper ( Mills Bell Slot Machine not Watling Bell ) the book he wanted is $175 on Amazon (Kind of pricey considering the original price was $29.95 but is hard to find now ! ) - http://www.amazon.com/Owners-Pictorial-Understanding-Watling-Machine/dp/0934422044/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1420832522&sr=8-1&keywords=watling+bell+slot )

Word.  The appropriate book comes up in the library still.  So at least there is that.

Hi, tried all of those, but they are too expensive, average price is $175 to $400, looking for a less expensive way to go.

Thank you
Pilot

You tried the library link even? 

You don't get the book from there as much as you go to your library and ask them if they can request it for you.

Hi, I went to my local library, the only one they have is a first edition, I need a newer one,don't know what edition, but the newer one has 10 pages more, 148 pages, and the info I need is on one of those 10 pages, I'm trying to repair an antique Watling Rol -a Top slot machine, the book from your library, says it's a first edition.  I enclosed a picture of the one I need.

Thank you
Pilot

Doesn't help with the book, but someone could have it or be able to help with your question(s).
