Seek Early Wurlitzer Coin Mechanism
By John Rutoskey

I am restoring a very early Wurlitzer 88-note coin piano which is
missing the entire coin mechanism and entry chute.  This mechanism
mounts on the left wall in the piano, and has a visible magazine
on the front so that you could see the deposited nickels stacked up
to play.  The nickel itself completes the electrical circuit at the
bottom of the slot.  At the end of the tune, a pneumatic collapses,
releasing the nickel to fall out the bottom.

This is type of coin mechanism that I need, as well as the drop chute
and the tin slug cup that was right behind it to catch any slugs that
got ejected.

I can provide photographs of these parts.  Any help or leads would be
appreciated!

Regards,
John Rutoskey
