Greetings Tim the Enchanter  --  Believe it or not, and I know this thread has completely digressed, but someone actually took the time to determine answer the question.  Apparently 10 to 11 meters per second.

We ended up meeting the gentleman selling the Jacobs 56 and working out a fair trade involving a Vendo 81. He is a very nice guy and has an amazing collection of vintage items. The 56 spent the night in the Jeep because we got home late, but we are anxious to get it unloaded today and check it out at home. It's a sweet machine!

Here ya' go! As soon as we figure out how to un-jam the top latch on the coin door, I'll post some pics of that too. At the moment turning the key opened the bottom latch but the top one is stuck in the locked position. If anyone has any experience with that, please advise. My feeble attempts with a coat hanger to grab the upper arm and pull down have not been successful. I don't want to get too ambitious with it and bend the coin door. Any help from this group is always appreciated. Thanks!

I saw the pictures of the one Rod did and it is amazing! I hope this one looks that nice one day soon!

Hopefully someone else has encountered this lock problem and will have some suggestions... Even though it's a new lock, I am tempted to drill the lock out so I have a little workng room to get to that upper arm. I am not sure there are many other options.
