I am looking for a coin box for a 1936 Extraordinary. The model I want has the round coin "hole" and the spring-mounted flap.

I've been asking around about these, and apparently they're very hard to find. Given what seems the trend to heavily restore machines, I wouldn't think that many people would care about original cash boxes, but apparently enough do in comparison to the actual supply. And it seems especially rare to find the flaps on them, as those apparently started to malfunction causing coins to build up, and were removed. Good Luck.
I thought I was looking for an original cash box for my 1934 Extraordinary, but now I'm not so sure, the box that came with it was something I thought looked like a modified QT cash box with a bolt used as a spacer, but apparently it's not the only one so I'm wondering what the correct cash box configuration actually is:

p.s. I have several cash box doors and a couple of locks for them, if anyone is looking for those.
