All,
For those interested in the perfect match for the coin slot, there is a
certain fellow who sells Camera repair tools and things who also sells a
fiberglass disk that fits the slot perfectly. It is about $5.00 each, but
does work well with out leaving a scratch or ding. You can find this tool
at fargoent.com.
Regards,
Bryant
