Nice Gumbal machine at Rite Aid for $15

If you have a Rite Aid Pharmacy near you, they have a 15" gumball machine for 50% off. It comes up to $15. It is pretty nice. Definitely game room worthy. I bought one, of course.

After testing, complete tear-down, and tweaking, it is still worth the $15 bucks, but I would much rather have a commercial grade machine. The coin mech is a little finicky. Pennies can get jammed up over the locking mechanism. The machine has to be sitting almost perfectly level to get any consistent coin mech operation. I recommend disabling the coin mech and setting it to free spin that way other people don't f--- it up.
I knew this was a to good to be true deal.

Install a credit button?

Install a credit button...and a step motor, and a control board, and a power supply? 

There, I updated your post.
