I'm new in this forum. I'm from Switzerland and I'm collecting all different kind of gambling stuff since 1987.
I bought my ROL-A-Tor in 1990 from a dealer in Zurich (you see a picture of it not restored, I guess it was in the original colour "yellow"?). This guy got it from an auction in France.
I restored the slot machine in 1996. It's operated with old french money (1 Franc, coin is made of aluminum). Everything works perfect!
Does anybody knows the history of this machine. I only know, that they had to change the name from TOR to TOP because a fridge company used the same name!
I also saw different kind of models of ROL-A-TORs! But I've never seen a machine like my one with the bird, gold coins, skill stops and spearmints.
How money got produced of this model?
How many got shipped to Europe (once I heard a story, that only 45 pieces of ROL-A-TORs got shipped to Europe, than they changed to TOP!?!?
How much worth is it? (I won't sell!)
Does anybody has the same model?
What was the original colour?
etc....
You see, I have a lot of questions.
It would be very nice, if I would get more informations about it.
Thanks in advance... attached you find some pictures of my TOR
so long....
