If these are out there I'm sure not getting any....maybe the west side doesnt get em...

All the fareboxes in TriMet’s Bus Fleet are being rebuilt to like-new condition. This rebuild will not change the operation of the fareboxes or the procedures for addressing mechanical problems. If you encounter a coin jam or bill jam in your farebox, follow the same procedures as before to clear these jams.
The rebuild project will be completed in February but there will be a break-in period for the new parts in the fareboxes. Maintenance appreciates your patience during this transition and asks that Operators report any problems by submitting an Operator’s Report of Defect Card.

Now would be an EXCELLENT time to buy some of these.

Except for the fact that they're probably much more expensive than the as-new ones that TriMet is getting.

Plus, TriMet has said they want any electronic fare system to be separate from the fareboxes.

Merlo buses are supposed to get changed out soon. But I'm not sure how easy it is to tell the difference.
