Hi guys

I have just bought this baby vendor trade stimulator and it is missing some parts that I want to buy if someone here can help me to get this cute little baby back in shape

I bought it on eBay for $300 and I’m not sure it was a good price or not ?

It’s missing the back door with the lock and key and also the reel glass and the bottom glass in the front

I really appreciate info about this machine and all the help i can get to find the missing parts, thanks

Nice machine, good buy

Thanks and good to know that it was a decent buy

I don’t know much about it and I’m not sure if I should restore the game or not but I prefer that the games have the patina if it’s not too bad of course..

Here’s a picture after I cleaned it and polished it, I also made new glass but I still haven’t found the original door..

Why are there so many trade stimulators without the door?

I have made back doors using sheet metal. Make you a cardboard template of the door then cut the sheet metal using the template. Also, a question for you. Does the middle reel spin in the opposite direction from the other two reels? The reason I ask is I have a Buckley Numbers trade stimulator that I can't get the middle reel to spin (see my post of July 22nd).
thanks.

Thanks for the tip and I’m already on it

Yes my middle reel goes opposite direction, I maybe think maybe the plate that make them spin don’t go all the way back like it should..
