I am finishing up restores of Zaxxon and Congo Bongo, and I am missing a couple of coin mech units, and the coin reject buttons are partly broken (the face that covers the 25c paper is busted off).

Does anyone know if there is a modern brand new replacement unit that fits the coin door for these cabs nicely? I can't seem to find replacement reject buttons for these as they are an unusual shape in the back.

I have the metal face plates that I've sanded and refinished, but the innards are in crummy shape, and am thinking about replacing the whole units with new if available.
 
Convert a cabs use 2 single slim coin doors. From coinco if i remember correctly but all major manufacturers made similar ones. If you don't want to restore them, ask in the buy trade sell section to see if someone has a pair in acceptable condition.

I ordered 4 of these style:

A little pricey, but they worked perfectly, and fit the holes just right. The bulbs were dim, so I swapped for a warm white LED pinball bulb, and it looks much better. It's got a finish like rustoleum hammered on it. I kept my carriage bolts which I painted with rustoleum satin canyon black rattle can. Plug and play and finished my restores nicely!

I had already taken the old units apart, sanded and repainted the faces, then realized I couldn't replace the reject buttons easily. Even similar shaped ones from other coin doors didn't quite fit. I was also missing some screws and parts here and there (lamp holder on one), the coin mechs were rusted and stiff, and I figured with shipping and repainting and fixing again, it wasn't worth trying to find a klover with originals - they just weren't made that well.

Am really pleased with how well they look and work, even if not original, and I can order red reject buttons if I want to replace the yellow ones they came with.

I ordered from this ebay vendor:
