Fake Rol-A-Top?

This Rol-A-Top (eBay 200965243506) is back on eBay after running for a lengthy period at a high reserve. It is the nickel machine with a gumball vendor which seems a bit odd. I sent the seller some questions about the machine but didn't get any response. The inside picture of the top casting appears to be a repro but I would be interested in comments from more experienced Watling folks such as WatlingBoy. What do you think?

Thanks much Stephane. What I had concluded but wanted to get input from Watling experts. Guess I know why seller didn't respond to questions. This seller has numerous machines on eBay and a decent rating. Know now to avoid.
Appreciate the info!
