Well, I decided last week that I would replace the plastic "generic" open top coin catcher
with what I thought would be the right part.

Machine info: Cavalier cs-64c

I went to a vendor who advertised a reproduction for the cs-64 which looks like what the manual
shows as oem p/n B-4 2180 (coin box assembly.)  It appears to slide over the coin drop.

They also offer what is billed as an original coin catch, but does not look like the style in the manual.

I chose to go with the reproduction which is not wide enough to slide on the coin drop and is to deep
to close the door if it did.

So...are there any available?  Can someone point me in the right direction...? help  Thank you!

Have you contacted the vendor in the hopes of returning/obtaining the correct coin box...?
I would start there before you venture on to another possible problem...

UPDATE:

Well it turns out that the machine that I have is very early production.  There are less
than 200 made with the larger coin catch box, which means that it is not work someones
time to reproduce it.

My search continues for a good used original...and more brain cells are dying!  darn

I'm confuesed, your title says "Cap-catcher" , but you keep calling it a "Coin-catcher"

so is it the bottle-cap catcher, or the coin-box???

If I were you I would buy a different bracket for the coin box. I have several for Cavalier 64's. if you pay postage I will send you the bracket for the coin box for free if you want it.

I appreciate it, but in addition to being too narrow, it is also too deep so the door will not close! veryangry

How...and I am just curious here, but how would the bracket change out?

Mine screws in with two screws. It is for the later D model. Yours being an earlier model it is different. If my memory is right I believe the mount is welded in. I attached some pictures. The first is of the coin box yours should have. It is from the earlier model Cs-64's which is the same for all of the C's. The reproduction coin box you have is for the much more common D model which was built from the mid 60's through late 70's maybe even early 80's. The D model is in the second picture. Finding another coin box may be quite hard. I would ask here in the swap meet area and classified area and you are welcome to use my picture of the correct coin box in your search. Maybe you could modify your box to fit???

SWEET!   Cool

That helps....the vendor will accept the box back and there was no hassle..it's all good.  I may try to have one
made.  For now I will look for the needle in the haystack and hope.

And so the plastic catch is back in use!

The Missing Coin Catcher slides on the plate at the bottom of the coin unit.

The plate that it slides on is 3 3/4 inches wide and 2 1/2 inches deep.  Thanks
everyone for your help!
