There are at least two different styles of this coin mechanism. Commonly it is called a transitional coin mech which is incorrect. In fact this is a Canadian coin mechanism seen on Vendo and Vendorlator large door machines including the 44's.
If you look closely you will notice that this coin mech is in fact a small door coin mech that was stuffed into a large doors body. This isn't exactly true but works for illustration purposes. The large door machines going to Canada had problems with the Canadian coins. So instead of building a new coin mechanism for a limited market, National chose to do this modification. That is how these came about. Our Coin Mech Restorations are completely dis-assembled, re-zinc plated, checked for tolerances, re-assembled and functionality checks are then performed prior to shipping.
