Ideal 55 Coin Mech

[mack65az]

What can anyone tell me about coin mechs for ideal 55's? I have seen (excluding mechs found on Glasco's) two different styles. One has the hinged door like the one pictured. I have some of these as well as what I think is referred to as the Frankenstein mech with a couple different style chrome tops.

Is there a correct mech for any particular brand machine?

I am working on a HIRES and ORANGE CRUSH both of which have mechs like the one pictured

Also, Does anyone make or restore the plates like the one pictured. I much prefer the plate over the multiple stickers.

I just saw one like this the other day on a Glasco slider.

I think the one in the picture is called the Frankenstein mech.

Here's a place that restores tags.
