New purchase -Lehigh Foundries Cigarette Vending Machine.. Help.

Hello Chaps.
I bought this old girl on eBay a few weeks ago and managed to pick it up today. There is no makers plate etc and having done some internet research I have drawn a blank on the maker.
Its in nice condition apart from a few dents in the door where its been forced open. however its missing the complete coin mech.
Can anyone shed any light on this machine and i know its a very longshot but i don't suppose anyone has the missing coin mech for sale???
Dave

Just looked at that plate again and it actually says "Lehigh foundries" Easton PA. Don't know how I missed it.
Anybody have a coin mech for this machine at all?

Definitely a Lehigh Vendor, should light up as well...
Unfortunately, I do not have a coin mech for the machine.
Congrats on the purchase though ! ! !

GP - I went to bed last night thinking, what the bloody hell is he speaking about I can't see anything. With some sleep I can now see the etchings in the mirror. (very good)
Leonard - will take the mech out today and take some pictures...

dave,
thats a great machine & its found right home now
shows there are still a few original US machines still
around in England today,
you deserve to get sorted on the coin mech for taking
it on, so hopefully someone can sort you out on that.
be interesting to see that finished, next to one of your
nationals.
