Best way to dispense/ store tokens?
(1/5) > >>
Donkbaca:
So, I have my coin door lit up, and modified it to take .984 tokens and got a bunch of tokens.  The question to those of you that use tokens in your arcade, how do you store your tokens?  Right now I have them in a box, I would like to get some sort of mechanical dispenser, anyone know where i can get one?
DCsegaDH:
I don't do this, but I seen others use an ashtray to hold the coins.

If you really want an "authentic" arcade experience you could get a change machine like this one.



I've seen them go for around $150 on CL and ebay around the Denver area.

Or you could modify a coin sorter to have a hopper full of tokens and dispense them when a button is pushed or a lever is pulled. I have one from the early 90s that I think would work better than this, but here's an example.



Or get a belt coin dispenser (that one's not for tokens, but I know they're around) like the arcade ops used to where...

Back pockets work well and you could win something nice at the post office or the liquor store.

Don't want authentic at all.  Want something maybe vintage, like an old coin changer or something.  Want something mechanical versus electronic.   Might just make on myself?
