Vacuum Coin Mech 3 inch to 2 inch update

[mjwalsh]

We are finally looking into updating the coin mechanisms on our late eighties Stainless Steel Doyle Vacuums. I measured the faceplates for the coin mechs & they are the 3 inch instead of the more common 2 inch. I am thinking that some of you have upgraded your 3 inch faceplate to a 2 inch faceplate so a 2 inch electronic coin acceptor could go in its place. What is the best way to do it? I was looking through the various car wash catalogs & for some reason I am not seeing the conversion kit.

It's just a replacement door, but it has to be the right one so the acceptor lines up with the slots to the safe.

No safe but a coin box is below it. It uses a 10.75 inch x 6 inch faceplate.

Yes, I meant the coin box.

It uses a 10.75 inch x 6 inch faceplate.

A newer door will "fit" but the coin mech will be too far to one side and the coins won't hit the opening. Just call Doyle and tell them you want to replace doors with a 3" coin mech to change over to the 2". They're only about $25 each.
