Original doors are very seldom found for these Groetchen machines. There is a member of this Forum that
makes recasts of the "Liberty" door only. It has a slightly different contour at one point, but can be made
to work, as I altered one for a restoration several years ago. That is the only solution at this time.

Thank you for your time.
The good news is it came with a very well made replacement back. It doesn't have the coin window or gumball replacement door. i still want an original however I can be patient.
I thought maybe the replacement back was to close to the penny ejector because they are getting jammed. However now I'm not sure if its the back or just the coin mech. Will be testing today.
Thanks Jack

I have an all original machine with the back door that if your interested and want the whole machine. It has been sitting on a shelf for the past 2-3 years. It has the original cigarette reel strips.
Currently if you pull down on the handle it does not feel like its connected to anything and the reels don't spin. You can PM me with an offer if your interested

Wow! This is a very good offer. Hope it works out for you. It will save a lot of hassle, and an original back door to boot.

Thanks for the offer however it's priced fairly including a back which is more than I can pay considering I just want the back. So still looking patiently
