Picked this up from the Chicago show. I've been after this part forever...diamond in the rough. Little clean-up, dis-assembled the interior parts, and it's ready to mate:

Fits on the left side of the machine. I found an un-restored, nice machine that was missing the vender. But it had a plug in the side where the lever fits thru, and also happened to have the internal lever for it, loose in the coin box, with the shoulder screw. So, I figured the vender was removed, who knows when, and set out to find the part.
I just got lucky when I stumbled across it. Had to travel to Chicago from Denver to get it...
I'm going to install it, maybe repaint the black areas since they're pretty much not-there, and post a pic with it complete.

Here is what it will look like installed. I was lucky to find a machine with the original vendor attached several years ago. Good catch on yours, as they are very hard to find, even the repros.
