Caille top mechanism coin slide

[briank]

Just picked up a Caille Superior that played nice until I got it home. Upon further investigation it looks like I need a coin slide in 25 cent denomination ......anybody have one for sale. I may be able to v then weld and gring if I need to but hoping somebody has one for sale. Thanks

Looks like another needle in a haystack that Im looking for. Has anbody had luck mig welding one? The only issue I see would be on the inner part as it is very close to the other side so Im not sure of how good a weld could be done there. How much stress is on this part? Im wondering how this broke. Only thing I can figure out is that coin got jammed and somebody forced the handle and broke the top coin slide??

Not a lot of stress on it. I'm sure if you find a good welder it could be repaired. There will be some cleanup to be done after. Filling and stoning it so that it moves freely.

Thanks. Im good at the finishing work but not welding...my mig is out of gas and I dont like to do it. Weird thing is I weld sheet metal better than thicker metal. Im going to hunt down a local welder and see if he will weld it. Then I will finish it. I will still be on the hunt for another top slide though as a backup.
