where to buy coin mechs
« on: March 20, 2003, 03:49:14 pm »
Does anyone have any idea who I could buy canadian $0.25 coin mechs from?  Happ sells them for something like $15usd each!!!  Do US mechs accept canadian coins as well?

Generally yes.

Have you tried Starburst Coin? They're in Toronto. They have the coin mechs. They're the largest supplier of Happs in Canada.
If you build a frankenpanel, chances are I don't care for you as a person.

thanks for the info.. I'll check them out.
I may just wind up pulling the mechs out and inserting some sort of guide to take the coins directly from the slot to the switch.. I lose the ability to distinguish coinage, but I highly doubt this cabinet will be leaving my basement anyways =)
Cheers,
