looking for one to fit my Caille.
I googled "slot machine repro side venders" and cannot find a seller other than a few which have sold on eBay or Morphys?

I spoke with Jack on the phone only three or four weeks ago. He had been winding down Metal Form Products for years, has now relocated and mostly retired, putting whatever leftover inventory into such deep storage that he told me he has difficulty getting to any of it. At any rate, the distinctive Dictator item was not among the side-vendors he reproduced anyway: it doesn't appear in any edition of his catalog that I've seen.
Does your Dictator actually have the Caille side-vendor hardware in it--? Attached are pictures of a beat-up, old Doughboy (1935); it appears there's some parts to the right of the coin slides and a rod running down the lower inside of the cabinet, below the handle. One of the French members of the forum (Mills) apparently has a Cadet (1936) equipped with a side-vendor also:
