Are you talking about the upper advance bar or the lower indexing bar?

I don't know the formal names for these parts but the 2 teethed slides one upper and one lower are both missing teeth , i am hoping that is the extent of the damage , escalator seems to work but the first 3 coins line up as they should but after that the other 2 just roll to the other end of the escalator and drop into the coin chute .

Hello
yes I saw that one but I don't need the casting and it seems a bit high at $140 for the escalator
Thanks though

Sounds like what you have, is an operator revamped 'Roll-Away' escalator. This was quite common in the old days.
Usually when only two or three coins shows in the escalator window, the other portion of the glass is painted in.

I agree with Bill, it sound like that is exactly what you have. The escalator was modified by an operator or could be an early Buckley modification. Its not broken just modified. You can get the original style parts from Dave Burton or leave it as is your choice.
