Welcome to the board!!
Sorry I don't. It may be possible to replace with a Coinco which is very common.

Greg, never seen one of those before but it looks real similar to the Coinco's.  What's the problem?

Free-vend will get the machine operating and let you know if the mech is toast or if it is something within the vending side.

Wow! I haven't seen one of those for years and years. If memory serves it is just an early version of a single price by a company other than the big boys of the time. A coinco should be able to replace it.
