Fortytwo:
Welcome to our Forum. You definitely qualify for One, in which you have much more than half a machine.
What you have, is a Groetchen "Mercury". What I see missing so far, is the nameplate above the reel window,
coin entry casting, (which is most likely 1c), although they did make them in 5c play as well. The round knob
for the play arm, small outer casting for the token-pay exit, and the back door. If you have any of the parts I
mention, that is a plus. The hardest part to find, will be the knob. Every so often, a coin entry casting will
turn up on eBay. One of our Forum members, has made recast doors for this machine in the past, but not sure
if he has any in stock at this time. As far as paint color, most of this model were done in Green Hammertone.
There were a few other colors. Some were Tu-tone. Hopefully your mechanism is complete, and working.
Good luck with your new project. Any other questions, feel free to ask.
