Good morning. I am working on a 1930's / 50's Digger crane, and it uses this plastic coin mechanism.

Unfortunately, this one is broken at a critical point (the connection to the coin reject button) so it doesn't hold together properly and coins always jam.

Can anyone directly identify this and point me to a replacement? I've googled all the names I can find on it to no avail. It does not line up with the standard coin mechs. Thanks.
 
I haven't run into one like that. I think you could adapt a Seiko Roll down to it.

Try Crow River Trading.

Your mech doesn't show on the website, but he may know where to find one.
 
The key here is that 5 amp coin switch with the cord. You'll need to either find one like that, or transfer that one to the new coin mech, changing the lever arm to match the new coin mech.

Are you sure you can fix this with epoxy or super glue?

It's physically missing the part that clamps onto the coin reject button. I may just run a screw over to it if I can, or epoxy the darn thing in the open position just so coins fall through, but ultimately I'd like to replace it.

UPDATE: The Seiko mech, I could make line up with the coin entry, but not the coin reject.
