Pimp my Coin Mech

I have a couple of those that I converted to take .984 tokens. It was set for quarters when I got it. All I did was shave the plastic peg that blocked the coin from coin down the chute until the token was accepted. I bet if you made that pin thicker then you could possibly down convert the mech.The pin is not shown in your photos because it's on the hinged part of the mech. You can see the back of the pin though. It is part of the second movable piece of plastic from the left. It's the one that sits above the screw in your first photo.

On the other side of that plastic is a little peg sticking through a hole that allows some movement. It will only move if the coin is small enough to slide through when it is at it's furthest back.

Just add some tape around it until the coin just barely gets through it.

I hope it works for you...




Ayrk:

Thanks a lot guys, I appreciate it. My fall back was to remove the mech and make a little chute out of posterboard to guide it on to the switch, but it misses all the chink-chink noise of a mech.

I'll soldier on, thanks for the guidance.
