Hi Andrew,
While it looks like a coin slot, there is no corresponding hole
in the wood below it (unless wood was replaced). In addition, there seems to
be no extra apparatus below with the motor to start/stop it (as you pointed
out). I think it was for some type of homemade attachment, possibly to hold
needles, and whatever went into the slot is gone. We have a needle holder
attachment for our Victor V. It bolts onto the rear where it is held into
place with one of the two large bolts that hold the back bracket on (See
George and Tim's book "Gadgets, Gizmos, & Gimmicks, Page 63). It could have
even been for a speed gage. That is the fun of the hobby, there is no end to
what is out there.

What is this (upper right corner), that resembles a coin slot? Photos of
the inside don't include it or anything related to it.
