I have a nice original Groetchen Liberty that is complete except for the coin chute that attaches to the back door (photo below).
It was also used on the Sparks Champion and maybe other model Groetchen trade stimulators as well.
It consists of 2 parts; the back plate and the front plate with swing arm attached to lower end.
Anyone with a parts machine or trade stimulator "junk pile" that has this available, please advise.

Hi. This is frank. I got the 3pics you sent to me. They help but I send you a message back not sure if you got it. Or I even sent it the correct way. But this door you have here pictured below. I think would be the same door I need for my groetchen sparks sports champion. I think, it looks to be what I'm needing. Looking at it explained a lot to me. Not having a door, I could not figure out why the coin was shooting across the table. But I see now. It goes around to the back door to view coin in the window. I guess it's the slug deterrent. All the machines seem to have has some type of one on them. To stop people from using slugs. If you come across a door in your search for the parts you need please let me know. I will do the same if I come across just the shoot by its self. If you get a chance, I could really use another picture of. In between the coin entry plat & first wheel behind it.


Thanks
Frank

Hi Frank;

No; they are not the same door;
you can't tell it from the photo (unless you know the part number in the photo), but the door pictured here is from a Liberty.
It is a different size/shape than the door on the Sparks Champion.

But yes; they use the same coin chute to hold the coin in front of the back door viewing window and then release it to the "coin catcher" on the back of the mechanism.

I can't do the other photos you requested until my wife is available to take them (I don't touch the camera; it's hers; and she pretty much doesn't mess with the coin machines).
When she's available, I'll post the photos you requested on the other thread.
I already had this photo ready to post earlier, your comments just reminded me that I need the coin chute.

Hi' thanks for the fast response back anyway. When some one get back to you, it's sometime as good, as getting what you wanted.
I am just glade every one is patient with me & so nice. I really like this forum. It almost as nice, as some of the machines.

Ps. No hurry or the other pic.
Sincerely
Frank
