1939 Groetchen A200 Columbia

Postby jackovhearts » Sun Feb 16, 2020 12:57 pm

I am repairing a 1939 Groetchen #A200 Columbia. It was apparently at one point vandalized to steal the quarters. The coins when inserted drop to the pay out tray and the handle will only pull 3/4 of the way. There are 2 pieces loose in the machine. I've looked at diagrams, but, they only show an assembled machine and I'm having a difficult time identifying the parts. An exploded diagram would be helpful, but, I cant find one. I thought perhaps more experienced eyes could identify them! Thank you in advance.

These two parts look like they come from the coin rotator ( it's to clear any jammed coins) but they don't look original.

Does your coin mech look the same as this ?

Looks like the magazine cover and the copper tab to hold it shut. They both look broken. Jim Gott is the go to guy for Columbias.
