Doyle Vacuums

Hello, I have several of the Doyle coin-up vacs that I need some parts for. They are about 25 years old. I've contacted Doyle and they don't return calls from my messages so I don't know their status. I've also contacted Kleen-Rite and Windtrax without success. Any ideas for a parts source?
 
I got parts about 2 years ago and had no problems then but since then I replaced the guns and shampooer with ones from KR i need to replace a couple fragrance pumps but don't want to use the Doyle ones but not sure what to replace those with.

Are they the faceplates that use the Wilson Bohannon pin lock, or is it the money door only that uses that lock? Also are you looking for steel or stainless steel. I may have some in my warehouse if you can put up a pic of what you're looking for.
 
Most Industrial vac parts will fit.

What parts are you looking for?

copper,

Industrial Vac was a source a few years ago. Another option is to use a good bimetal jig saw & possibly fabricate it yourself.

While you at at it you may want to upgrade the coin mech & timer etc. That is what we did with ours with no regrets. We use the Dixmor Led7s to give a bonus for the dollar coin or 4 quarters inserted really fast. A polycarbonate window works for the time remaining & jazzes the front up kind of nice.

The choice of coin mech will affect the choice of faceplate. The mountings can be improvised with small pieces of stainless &/or even some small aluminum angle etc.
