I was able to remove the nut and the cam through the bracket slot on back. It took a bit, but I got it!
If you are just wanting to see if it is complete inside, I can tell you how to be relatively sure it is all there...call me when you are in front of it.

Well, Merry Christmas to you!!  How long had it been listed before you bought it? Did you catch it early?
I didn't even realize there is a "coin changer" category.

That's a great buy on a coin changer.  There have been lots of them listed recently, but with large prices.  Glad to see you score a good one.

Love those coin changers!!  Congratulations on a great find. Hard to believe that you would sell and ship something on Ebay that still had money in it.  You had to be able to hear the change rattle inside.  What a great story.

Nice score! 

Nice to see that good stuff can still be had at reasonable prices once in a while.
