Help Identify these vacuums and vending machine question...

Can you guys help me Identify these coin vacuums. I am going to repair them...but am barely learning about vacuums. Also a question on the vending machine.

- Vac 1 -I believe it might be a JE vacuum...thinking 9200 series?

- Vac 2 - I have no idea. I have 2 of these vacs. 1 has a faceplate and I have no key to open it. The second picture for it is with faceplate that some ripped off, and missing components. I have to drill out the one with the missing key.

-Vac 3 - This is Dilling-Harris Model# 31264 - Siugbuster I - I learned this company went out of business. I have the faceplate and keys...however all the components are pulled out. I am wondering if I can use the vacuum metal body and put in my own components (coin, timer, motors, etc.)?

- Vending Machine - sorry I thought I took a picture of the inside components of this machine. But i believe is a Laurel 300. My issue is that if you put in tokens it works... I wanted to strictly keep it only quarters. I can't find any way to change this? I can't find any answers online. My tokens are worth $1, so i dont want customers losing money or complaining. I have 10 of these machines mounted.


Edit:
Found something regarding the vending machine to adjust coin size...i'll try this out and let you guys know:

You've got a mix of Dilling Harris and Monorail vacuums. Both companies are long out of business, so parts are pretty much no longer available. If you have the face plates you could get them working again.
 
You have a mix of Laurel vending machines, the one on the left is a Model 300, the other one is a Model 2100, this determined by how high the pull handle is from the bottom of the cabinet. Take the coin mechanism's out and take pictures, especially the coin acceptor so I can see the white label on it with the model # (8 numbers)
