Needed a new coin counter photo sensor for my Rowe coin changer, however, the only real option for both photo sensor and the led is $70+ ~$10 shipping from Capital Vending
That was a bit much to spend on a 30++ year old machine for me (Mom & Pop motel).
Figured, since It had to get replaced anyways, why not try and rebuild it first. Worst case, I need to pony up $80 after shipping anyways, and while Im at it, better replace BOTH sensors, one on each hopper, so about $150 to do both.

So anyways, hit up Radio Shack (YES, we have one of the last remaining Radio Shacks locally!!!) and walked out with a handful of parts. My rebuild worked successfully!
Accomplished 3 things.
1: It worked!
2: Saved $80-$150
3: Helps support a locally owned Radio Shack! Ah the nostalgia!

Anyways, Based on my internet searches, these are in short supply. So I suppose I'll offer rebuild services if anyone wants.
Due to parts + Time to do it, $20/sensor, flat $5 return shipping within the USA. I need your existing one however. Unless someone wants to donate some dead ones for me to fix.
