Canadian quarter mechs?
ChadTower:
But down here that would only be like seventy cents. ;D

Or eighty-six ;D ... still too much for a coin-op.
I have a couple of looney mechs that I'm happy to trade straight-up for quarter mechs ... ::)
Cheers.

I picked up some canadian Coin Mech mechs off of eBay, and besides the magnet missing, there was a little plastic piece with a wire sticking out below where the magnet would be. I think this may check for ridges on the coin? Anyways, I couldn't get the US quarters to work until I removed it or bent the metal pin in the opposite direction.

Magnets pick off the Canadian quarters in US mechs.
Cheers.

That's interesting ... I just ran a couple of US quarters through each of my Canadian mechs (20) without problem or modification ... hmmm ....
Not sure about the ridges aspect since both quarters have 'em (although US quarters seem to be deeper).
Cheers.

Chad, just buy CDN mechs.
I tried modding american ones by removing the magnet and it's not enough. The little counter-weight has to be switched for the appropriate one.
