233G MISSING PARTS

Last weekend I found a Western Electric 233G prepay at an estate sale. I was pretty excited since I like all the electrical and mechanical intricacies of the prepay phones and my only other payphone is post-pay. Unfortunately the coin relay has been removed (which I assume also contains the coin trigger). The coin trap, trap lever, and associated spring have also been removed.  The coin vane has been locked to not allow coins into the coin return.

I would sure like to find the missing parts without spending a fortune. Any ideas? I know this is the most common Western Electric three slot pay station so I'm hoping the parts are reasonably common, although I know a lot of prepay phones were modified over the years. Since this isn't a rare phone, is it worth piecing back together?
