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!

Hello Mike,
 What is the coin mech. doing or not doing? Probably an easy fix.

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!!!
