I have had this Vendo Coin Changer for a couple of years now and I have had no luck finding the coin insert bezel that was missing when I got it.  I can't imagine they pop up too often either.  If you happen to have one laying around.... hopefull

I was wondering if someone would be willing to help me out in an effort to build a replacement.  I have done some plastic molding in the past with clay, and with all the advances in 3D printing I figure there has to be some way to reproduce something that'll display nice even though it's not original.  The obvious problem is getting my hands on one to make a mold out of, short of buying an entire coin changer for a project. 

I'm also open to suggestions on ways to make something that'll look good, wood/plastic/machined steel???  I know it's a shot in the dark so thanks in advance for any help.

Couple of options. Some one kind enough to take 360 degree picks of one and get that 3D printed. #2 same pics just with correct dimensions and carve one out of whatever. Surprised original part can't be sourced. Vendo made a few thousand of these. Best of luck!

A decal till one is found is a great idea and cheap.... Hard to believe there isn't a rough one out there for parts... Did you post stating
you were looking? about a year ago there was one on ebay missing the larger piece at bottom and some inside stuff... gotta believe a
parts one will come along. I'll watch for you.

Tom, if you need an original, I can send you the bezel from my changer...
