This looks like it is associated with the actuator, but not having a machine in front of me, can you clarify what the issue is?

When it has its spring connected it is the catch that engages the handle to the mech.
Without a coin in the gate an internal disc rotates obstructing the catch from engaging in its slot.

With a coin in the gate the disc stays put and allows play to commence.

Like TF asked why do you need a replacement? Apart from missing a spring, that one looks ok.

What machine is this? Is it German original or an English machine with a German mech? Can we see a photo of the machine? Is this a new problem or has it always done this?

I think we still need more photos and an idea of what is happening. As I said before, is this a new problem? Usually when the mech is placed in the case the two directly connect (unlike Mills type bandits where the two only connect when the arm is pulled). So is the problem on the mech side or the arm side?

Here is one I built a new case for. You can see the mech to arm connection at least.

Looking at one of my mechanisms, I can see this part only engages on one side, which is why it may have worn on the side you have an issue with. To confirm, the damage you have shown, does this prevent locking onto the handle when engaged, so does it slip over the top?

If this is causing your problem, I will look as I have piles of Beromat spares.
