Kind of a crazy question here so bear with me.
I am working on a Mills QT Chevron. It appears that someone has swapped a Firebird mech into the case.....or I suppose maybe more likely put a Chevron front casting on a Firebird machine.
But the net result is that the Bent Coin Release knob is not there on the machine as the Firebird did not have this.
I would like to try and get this machine to as an original or normal Chevron appearance as I can. If (and I realize that is a big if) I could find a complete escalator assemble for a non-Firebird QT would I be able to swap it onto the Firebird mechanism and therefore have my Bent Coin Release knob in place?
My suspicion is that the escalator assemblies may be different enough that this swap is not physically possible. Your expert opinions on this will be most appreciated.
Thanks!
