INCOMPLETE CASTLE FRONT SLOT MACHINE ON EBAY

[Midcoast Vintage]

Machine is missing the gold award unit.
Handle is a reproduction "extended for easier play" handle as used on many of the reproduction machines.
Seller's description states:
"This machine works great and is in excellent condition with original keys to back door. "
How can it work great if it is missing the gold award unit?
This seller deals in slots on a regular basis, as is evidenced by his past sales, so, he should be able to post a more accurate / truthful description than he has done here.

IF it is there, i stand corrected. , BUT... award card does not show gold award, and, strips show no gold award symbol, but that could be just they are not in a position to show one, but, strips appear to be patched. also, they are silver, which is incorrect for a castle front.
Also, view the display window for the gold award tokens. it appears blocked off.
i have sent the seller the following question.
we can wait to see his reply.
"hi. is the gold award unit complete and functioning?
other than a repro handle and reel strips, , are any other parts repro?
thank you. "

here is the reply i received from the seller to the above question:
"Dear midcoastvintage,

I dont see any award unit on it. I dont know what is repro. It functions well otherwise."
