As you can see,when I drop a quarter in the slot,it doesnt catch anything.I am wondering if there are parts missing on the right side......

Could be, it looks like the Rene Pierre mechanism is different from the Bonzini. Might want to try starting a new thread and see if the Rene Pierre owners can give you some insight.

I was excited to browse through the 7 pages of this restoration, but Photobucket sort of put a damper on that.  Such a bummer!

Would love to see the final product kgstewar - I realize this thread is 2.5 years old

Thanks for pointing this out. I went to photobucket to see what I need to do to reinstate 3rd party hosting and they want $400! No way! I'll take the photos and put them on a new site and get this up and running again. Might take a few days.

Yep - I'm familiar with the ol' Photobucket cash grab...such a bummer.  I have some threads like this in other forums where I documented my audio journey and now all the embedded photos are gone

Looking forward to seeing how your project turned out.  I want a Bonzini so bad!!!!
