I did some arc welding...

I unplugged the machine, but I did not unplug the Mars MC5802 coin changer FROM the machine…now it won't accept coins or bills, coins fall through and bill validator won't suck in the bill.  I can't find the MC5802 on eBay, but there is a long list of replacements inside the machine.  Problem is when I look up the "compatible" replacements the have different plush from mine.  Mine has 4 tabs/pins/whatever on each side plus a centering pin.  Help me out, folks, you've always come through for me before!!!

Vendo 407 (?) MAKA NB-15 Bill Validator quit

OK, so I'm a newbie.  I bought a Pepsi machine for the church here some years ago, they no longer use it so they gave it back.  I use it in the lobby of my business.  Everything worked just fine, it just took a little cleanup.  From what I've been able to find online it's a Vendo 407, the dataplate is missing.  8 selections, single price.  I had it all working fine, but the last time I took the bills out of the validator it (the validator) stopped working, it won't even suck in the bill.  I looked inside the enclosure on the MAKA NB-15a where the circuit board is, and there was a little smoke stain on the cover next to a capacitor, so it may just be burned out.  I checked all my harness connections, nothing helps.  The coin mech works just fine, and there is plenty of change in it.  Suggestions?  Is there a cheap replacement for the validator?  I really can't afford $120.00 for a rebuilt one on eBay.
