Having trouble with my BYOAC nickel 0.984 coins and new Happ's mech
(1/2) > >>
jerschwab:
I have the following coins...


...and the following mech:


Aren't they supposed to work together?  When I insert the coin, it never comes out of the left side (only the right). 

Did I go and get the wrong one?

Thanks!!

I have read those sites... actually I have a few different mechs from Happs (US quarters, canadian quarters, and these 0.984 ones).  I'm unclear why I'd have to modify the 0.984 ones, that's what I bought them for... so I could just use them with no worries.

If you see the picture, I'm just wondering... shouldn't that mech work "as is" without any modification?

If you bought 0.984 mechs and only the right one is working, the left one is defective/improperly adjusted.  I'm sure Happ will exchange it for you.

No, what he means is it's coming out of the reject and not out of the coin box exit on the mech. In other words the mech is simply not accepting the coin. This is assuming that it's set up properly to take them.

Is this an entirely mechanical mech?? or does it require power to a solenoid kicker to send the coin in the right direction??  I'm not used to US Mechs only UK ones... Mostly not solely mechanical ones. Even the mechanical ones over here usually require 12 Volts to operate.
