I imported a stoner with gum mint vendor to Australia to restore, concentrating on the internal vending rack before starting on the enclosure.
All internal rack parts were chemically stripped of paint and powder coated.
A few pictures are attached and a few questions as well.

I've hit a bit of a speed bump, pretty sure I know what the problem is but confirmation from someone that has restored stoners before would be great.
I've installed three off the gum merchandise chutes along with all of the linkages, I thought I would install the selector gear and check the operation of the gear assembly and that the gum is dispensed correctly.
The issue is when I select each one of the merchandise chutes the internal linkage does not clear the frame of the rack to allow the linkage to dispense the selected gum (As per photo 2).
Only one of the internal linkages clears the frame and allows the gum in that merchandise chutes to dispense correctly. (Photo 3).
I'm guessing that over time the selector cams wear and the horizontal gear assemblies don't slide far enough for the internal linkage to clear the frame.
When I disassembled the horizontal selector gear assemblies I noticed that the shaft that protrudes through the frame that connects the internal and external linkages were bent possibly to compensate for the worn selector cams.
(Photo 4).
Can anyone confirm that this is the case or am I missing something.
Cheers
John

Quick update for anyone else that has this problem, removed all of the merchandise chutes along with all of the linkages, found that the ejector drive arms were bent.
As merchandise chutes number 2 was working correctly I had a reference to bend the other 3 arms back into the correct shape.
Now waiting for zinc plating before continuing assembly.
