Answer
Hi Roger,

Boy... This is a tough one! I assume that this is a coin operated horse ride, is that correct? Right now I am thinking that maybe you try this guy and see if he know where to find parts: His web site is located at:

http://gameroomantiques.com/NelsonPlayfield.htm

and look for this link:

Kiddie Ride Coin Box & Decals
Contact: Send Email to: durham@GameRoomAntiques.com along with your location, phone number and the parts/decal you want.

The only other thing I might try is getting this magazine or running an add in it, The GameRoom Magazine located at:

http://www.gameroommag.com/

I'll keep thinking about this one and if I can think of someone else I'll let you know.

Thank You

Sincerely

Expertise

I am an expert on old coin operated machines, slot machines, trade stimulator's, jukeboxes, old arcade machines, etc. I have been identifying these for people who respond to my web site listed below, for a few years now. In almost all cases I am able to tell them about their old coin operated machines, the year, the value, and other general information about their machines. I do not know much about soda vending machines, coin banks, or scales, but I will try to help you with these if I can.

Experience

I bought my first slot machine, a .50 Cent Mills Black Cherry in 1969 and have been hooked from that time, I still have that Slot machine! Before that I found a open barrel full of old scraped jukebox wall boxes behind a restaurant, I wanted them all but never took a one of them. Anything that took a coin drove me nuts!
