I highly doubt that the mechanical rack and the electric rack (push button) will be the same. The problem is that there will be nothing for the linkage to hook to. Instead it will have relays that work with the pushbuttons to release the dring instead of the manual selection from the turn knob. You best bet is to be patient and look for a rusted out machine like yours and use the rack. Trust me if you wait it will show up on ebay. Just make sure you keep on watching.

In both the Westinghouse 60 & 78 (dial models), 78 (pushbutton model), the rack rests on top of these flanges on the inside wall with bolts securing it in place The Vend Mechanism mounts below it - all the switches, etc are mounted on on the VM. I assume the 102 is the same and the rack is simply a columns assembly. I would think the racks would be virtually the same between dial and pushbutton models.

THATS KIND OF WHAT ITHOUGHT BUT NOT SURE. I THINK I MIGHT CALL FUNTRONICS AND GIVE ME A PART NO. OF THE PUSHBUTTON MODEL. I HAVE A MANUAL FRO THE KNOB UNIT SO I AM HOPING MAYBE THE PART NOS. WILL BE THE SAME AND THAT SHOULD "TELL THE TALE" FOR SURE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP. GREATLY APPRECIATED - BOBBY
