ALMOST complete...anyone know where I can get a mirror and cigarette topper?

Can I get a solo pic of the coin mech?
I have a New Old Stock/New In Box DeGrenier mech, but have yet to figure out what vending machine it goes to.
Thanks in advance!

I'm not sure what you mean by a topper... But the mirror you can get from any glass company
Nice machine...

As for what they look like when restored I think you should just stick it in google and see.
You could take a look at the magic Curtis does and try and replicate that..

If that is all you are missing I think you did very well.. Good luck

You can make this pretty easy. Its on clear thick lexan with aluminum behind it. I don't have the piece it goes on right now, that is out for paint.

There is also a chrome bracket that the mirror sits in at the bottom that you would need.

Thanks guys! But my search continues...
MaineT - that is a quarter only rejector. What does your mech look like?
VMAXMAN - I think yours is newer than MaineT's because of the electromagnets involved.
The mech I bought is still in the box and has a nickel/dime rejector with a nickel change tube. I am leaning toward a DeGrenier candy machine with 5 & 10 cent purchases, but am looking for some confirmation somewhere.
Thanks again for taking the time to post pics!

Vmaxman, If you end up needing to fabricate it, let me know and I can get you good pictures with dimensions. I'm actually not using the mirror, but the shipping might cost more than a new one. It has a reverse decal on it that says dugrenier, but it is starting to flake a little around it. I'm not going to original with mine and turning it into something else cause it had rust issues.
