Yes, it does!!  The bottle opener trim and the change return of those early 80's USS64s look like they'd work on my older USS64.

Thanks for the photo!

Now, just to find the parts.   HMMMMM!!

Just looking at some photos, I have all the parts in chrome, but the coin entry bezel has some issues right around where the coin goes in.

Mark,

I have the exact same machine (also my first machine--of many) and with the exception of the coin bezel, all of the parts on my 64 are chrome.  You should be able to find them--check Fun-tronics.

Welcome to the site.

TKAZ,

Yes, it sure does look like you have the parts.   Just like you said, the coin bezel looks a bit buggered.

Drop me a personal message bout the other three pieces if you are willing to part with them at a reasonable price.

Based on the gentlman after your entry, Fun-tronics may also be another option too.

Let me know what you think!

Thanks,
Mark

Thanks my friend!!  I'll check Funtronics for the option of new ones too.   Rather go old and save money but if the prices are comparable, then new it is!!

Thanks!!

Your black parts are anodized aluminum and can be stripped and polished by a polishing company. the coin entry should be able to be bought by one of the suppliers on the site. If not I may have a chrome coin entry bezel but it is pitted and will need re-plated.

PAT, David and Josh.

Pat and Dave.  Thanks guys.  Happy to be here and know that I did well with my first purchase.   Looking forward to loads of fun with it and inviting family and friends over for outside parties.  I'll roll it out of the garage and we'll stock it up with glass bottled beverages!

Josh,
My coin return lever is in good shape and I have a polishing wheel in the garage.  Bet I could whip that out in no time. 
If you wouldn't mind shooting me a photo of your coin bezel, I may be interested.

Thanks guys!!
