I was about to suggest this. I’m not an expert but I’ve seen the inside part of different type of money accepting machines and they seem relatively easy to adapt, at least from a layman’s point of view.
I know commercial washing machines are relatively easy to fix yourself as an owner since that’s sorta how they’re sold, I don’t suspect this part of the vending machine is that much harder.
You’d be surprised on how long companies make parts for their old stock and what Asian countries you cna just order them from.
We have almost 30 year old typewriters that we easily get parts for at my job. Most people don’t use typewriters anymore, plenty of people still use those money machines in japan still.

Yes…if you don’t have a 15-year-old machine where it’s hard to get parts.

This sounds like a great opportunity for someone to design a retrofit for common vending machine models.
