Those electronic ones are also referred to as "coin comparitors".
You actually stick a coin in the side that you want the unit to "compare" to.
His should be of the roll down variety.
What he needs would be closer to something like-

I'm not sure of all the mounting dimensions of the ones I pointed to, just some examples for now. Obviously some have a different texture and style from the original ones that should be in that Taito cabinet.
And that's if all he needs is the mech, if the little black housing is missing then he'll need that first of course. Just saw your new post... sucks that they removed the surrounding housing too, really wasn't a need for that. :P

Yes, thanks...most of the eBay listings call them "selectors," and I couldn't think of the word "comparitor." Also, that's what I was trying to describe; thanks for clearing it up.
I did realize that if he wants something close to the original mech, he'd want the type that you linked to. I just thought the other ones would look and fit the same, so they'd be an acceptable replacement. Although, that one at Mike's Arcade is about the same price, so if authenticity is a factor, that might be the one to go with. Assuming it fits, of course.
