Hi all

I recently became the new caretaker of a Vendo Coin Changer. 

I won it in a local auction.  I didn't have the chance to go and see/inspect it before bidding.  There was no key, so there were no pictures of the interior, however it looked to be in fairly good condition so I figured I would set a limit on what I was willing to spend and I bid on it.  I ended up getting it for less than my limit for what I thought was a great price...... Cool

until getting it home.  glare

Upon opening it up, I found that it is missing the coin mechanism.  It appears complete otherwise. 

My question is, are the coin mechanisms specific to this machine or are they common to any other machines?  I am concerned that I may have bought a sweet looking, non-functional wall hanger.  Oo

I may have a problem, I keep telling myself that I an done collecting.

Oh yeah, I also need wall brackets and a key for this lock if they are still available.

Fun-tronics may be able to get you that key.  Don't see that particular number listed on their site but it would be worth a call.

Tom (collecture) is the guy to consult on coin mechs.

Good luck!

 The coin mechanism is there. Doesn’t appear to be missing anything?

 oh

That is great news!  

Jees, am I showing my noob knowledge or what???!!!   Who ever said that there are no stupid questions is wrong.  blush

I opened it this morning for the first time right before heading off for the day and thought that it was missing components of the changer.  For some reason I thought the Vendo Coin Changers had tubes that held the nickels like my Standard coin changer did.

Is there a manual on the site that describes the operation or shows an exploded view of it?

As always, the help and guidance received from you all is greatly appreciated.  happydrinkers

     I have never owned one but good question, where are the nickles stored?

     This one on e-bay looks the same

You dump the nickels into the top of the hopper .  Where it says “warning “.
