Welcome aboard, Mike.  Glad to have you here!  The lock is an easy fix.  One of the sponsors of this site, Funtronics, sells them.  This company is run by a man named Steve Ebner.  He works out of his house and is wonderful to deal with.  He does not have a website.  His phone # is (301) 371-5246.  This is on the east coast.  His hours are M-TH from 9-5.  Don't be surprised if it's busy.  Just keep trying.  For about $7 he'll send a catalog with all his parts.

Besides all the members here ready to give advice, the downloads section has lots of information, too.  Maybe some one has a spare coin mech they'd sell you.  When I get a machine, I typically install new wiring and new fans.  This is pretty easy.  If I can do it, anyone can.

Again, welcome.  Please post some pictures of your machine.  We love to see insides and outsides!

Thanks 90 Grad, I will give him a call on the lock. On the coin collecting side...it doesn't appear to have anything in it right now. I guess I need to see if I can get that mechanism or bypass it completely. However, I think it would be cool to have the mechanism.

I will put some pics up soon!!!
