Seller has no pics of the inside, yet it does not look like it is locked. On the picture of the back, the red lock bar tabs appear to be in center of the slots on the back and not pushed up. I wonder if it is complete inside?

Insulting nah.. but not the brightest..  I could see offering slightly more than the current bid to end it early, but offering less than half the current bid '<img'>

"All international shipments will be charged a minimum $5 packaging/paperwork fee" - hmm.. it has to be packaged regardless of where it is sent to ? so he's effectively charging $5 to write a couple of numbers on a little green sticker..

It's a nice looking changer though.. if it's complete I hope someone here gets it !

The Vendo Coin Changers used a unique rejector that had a roller type extension on the wiper blade. If the rejector is not there, a normal large door mech will work for sending the coins to the coin block; however, you will not be able to scavenge the rejector if a coin gets stuck. Something could easily be fabricated probably.

The last two changers I have seen on eBay have sold for close to $800. I bet this sells for less than $500.

I bought my changer cheap locally, restored it and sold about a year later. Wish I still had it now. Usually can't touch them for under $700. '<img'>

The only one i've ever had of these was one that I had NOS, new in Box. absolutely in mint condition.  I had it on display for about a year, then when I downsized my collection to by my corvette it was one of the items that was sold. I sold it on ebay about 4 years ago and it went for 1750.00!!  Not bad.. but this baby was Brand new in box condition. Not a flaw to it... I'l lsee if I can find a photo... '<img'>
