Any coin mechs

Can anyone recall a fellow forum user who used to sell metal plates that enabled any coin to be used in a coin door? I think he was based in USA.  :dunno

I missed these.  I'm glad you asked.  But they're sold out again.

I hope he does another run. I own 4 of them and have been extremely happy with them.

 :-[ Yes just noticed this, I'll send him an email and I'm sure if there is enough interest he will consider another run of these.

Any coin mech (quarter or token) can be modified in less than 5 minutes to accept any sized coin up to a little over .984" in diameter... :dunno
