The deferred-pay assembly is attached to the front area of the mechanism. When you remove
the front panel, you would see the feature. The only thing that would have been on the front
panel, would be the tiny window to see the numbers through. The original panel that would
have been on yours, may have been either a casting, or wood. There were many different
configurations of the "Operator Bell" series, as well as revamps, so it is not easy to determine
what yours may have originally been, because of the home-made parts, and changes that were
done over the years. Even though your machine appears to be mostly original, it could still
have other issues that can only be seen in numerous photos, or looked at in person.
I can also post a pix of a deferred-pay mechanism later, when I get back to the shop, as I don't
have a pix in this computer to attach.
