Got lucky on this one...popped up on Craigslist two towns over from my new home in Charlotte.  Looked like it was in good condition and I've always wanted one, even though it's missing a couple parts.  Paid $50 for it!  I couldn't get to the guy's house quick enough to make sure someone else didn't grab it.

Got it home and there's no rust on it to speak of, I was a little concerned about rust on the bottom, but it turned out to be some grease.  Some quick fiddling and cleaning and it's working great, one quarter and five nickels.

I'll be placing an order at Funtronics for the missing pieces, but does anyone have a coin entry bezel or know if they are repopped?

Wow. Great pick!
The seller must have known something about it. How as it listed?

Seller didn't know a thing about it, I couldn't get out of there fast enough before someone else called with a better offer!  The ad was a little off...not sure which part wasn't used!
