Hey

I was just relooking at the pictures & if I remove the top coin chute it will not lower the upper two guide pins.

Help

I believe the slug rejector you have is for a newer electric model coin mech, such as a 9800... However, as Glen has said, look at the bottom studs to see if they can be relocated up a little. Usually, there are several sets of threaded holes along the side rails of the rejector for adjustment to fit various coin mechs.
It's hard to tell but it looks as if the mech needs the lower studs to be moved to an upper set of holes for proper alignment... And don't forget to remove the coin chute as stated by Glen (MoonDawg)!

Jim's right, the slug rejector is a for an electric Coinco metal coinmech 9100/9400 series, looks like a metal series 78/Coinco slug rejector to me, there should be some I.D. No.'s on it somewhere on the back, cast right into the metal)  it doesn't belong on this machines coinmech, first of all, it will accept quarters, but there is no place for them to go, they'll just either fall into the coinbox, or into the 'mech's guts. so  if you do get it to fit-up keep it in mind. food for thought.

Kevin,

Congrats on a great score and welcome to the "don't need no stinking electricty" to vend land. As always the core members of the board are spot on.

I just finished (almost) hacking up unit that looks very similiar to yours into a RT V-56. Wanted to clean up my org. and still keep the box in service. Works all day/nite long on dimes and most of the time with two nickels. With quarters on the bench they will drop through to the proper slot but in the machine they are hanging at the entrance to the rejector. Allignment issue. May not be able to fix that, the entrance/exit slots are not quite the same as on a unit of proper vintage.

First thing is, does this unit store nickels for change? If so there will be a tube to the below left of the crank handle that has all kinds of interesting widgets to divert nickels into the tube, detect if enough nickles are in the tube, dump the tube etc... I don't see the "use correct change" flag assembly installed but that doesn't mean the main vend mech can't do .25. If it can't make change you are dumping .25 coins into no mans land and they can end up in nasty places.

Here is what I did:

Clean, then clean again:-)
Remove coin chute and the small wheel on top. The coin bezal return on mine hits the front part of the tab, not the wheel.

Check if there is a cast alum. appendage at the bottom that extends the nickel path. If so this will prevent the slug rejector from setting directly on top of the main vend mech. Required that these rejectors are aligned level/fore and aft to line up with the main vend coin entrance path. Removing this is no big deal but I can save you some time with the process if required.

Next issue was the locking pins. On the rejector I used all 4 were cast into the chassis. The top pins were fine but the bottom were to low (offset for the appendage). I cut those off and was lucky that the next setting "up" was threaded. Threaded pins inserted and it "locks" into place as it should.

I'll get you any pictures you need when I get back Mon. If you check the "slug rejector test bench" post that is the modified unit at various stages. Also there should be some decent pics of a period slug rejector/change capable main unit in some of my earlier ramblings :-) To me anyway, it seems getting the dime to work makes it easier to sort out the rest.

Keep us posted!!!

Hi Kevin,

I'm back, here is one of two of overall pics. Let me know what else would be of help.

Hello

Thanks for the pictures. I am going to take a few updated pictures of mine tonight & post. That will help with this discussion. I am on a long learning curve with this machine.

Hi Kevin,

It will be a very short curve. Best "tech support" ever available on this group!! Bring on the pics.

Hello

Here we go with the slug rejector & the full changer

Here is the picture of the changer-crank handle area with the slug rejector removed. I don't think I can make change unless something is missing.
