COIN MECHS & TOKENS>>WHAT TO DO ?
« on: November 24, 2006, 07:57:54 am »
I have acquired 50 redemption games from ICE company in US. They are shipped without coin mechs but the machines have a slot in the door for 3.5". ICE are recommending Imonex or HAPP mechs. Qusetions:

Whats best metal or plastic
I want to use Alloy Tokens 25.00mm dia
I see some mechs are for .800/.900 etc which of the above would I need for my token ?
Want to reject the local (worthless coin currency) in favour of the token

Suggestions appreciated

you should email someone like suzo/happ with the exact token size and whether it is magnetic,they will probably have a perfect match but even if its slightly out there a few adjustments you can make yourself on the mech
we have the plastic type from suzo(set on 1 euro) and i don't have any issues with these(perhaps the odd reject spring that breaks)
if you go to www.suzo.co.uk and download the product catologue for coin validators goto page 73 and you will see the red plastic mechs we use
suzo will export and also offer bulk purchase discount

if you want it to reject all currency other than your tokens you will have to get mechs specific to those tokens.... I adjusted my quarter mechs to accept the BYOAC tokens, but it also will accept quarters...
