Title: FS: BYO change machine parts - EASY! [IL USA] **SOLD**
Post by: rockin_rick on May 16, 2011, 07:46:41 pm
For sale are two coin hoppers.  One is complete and working and the second is incomplete and for spare parts (not sure why you would need them - I really have no other use for it, so you might as well get it as a bonus).  It could be used in a build your own change machine project.  You simply apply +12V DC to +24V DC and the motor runs and spits out quarters, at a rate of 4 per second (@ +24V).  It is rated for +24V, but works on +12V, albeit with less speed.  It has what appears to be an optical coin detector, but I don't know how it works or how to interface with it.  There is also some circuit board 'black box' which I have no idea how it works or what it does.  I was going to build a cabinet for this and simply have a pushbutton on it that when pushed, ran the motor and it would spit out coins until the button was released.  I was going to simply ignore the sensor, or counting the coins spit out.  I suppose that if you could figure out how the sensor worked, you could make it so that it spit out however many coins per button push, like a real change machine.

Only the complete one is pictured, the extra looks just like it and is only missing a few parts off of it.

$20.00 + actual shipping

Thanks,
Rick
