Josh... I have a few can stacks for sale... I'd donate one to the cause.. getting it to the other side of the world may be a challenge though... I'd love a stack that could do cans and bottles.. don't know if it would work well though...

A can stack for an 81 could possibly be acomplished by using the same principle
as the self serve 110. Customer would then only need to remove his faceplate and
install yours with the much larger openings so that fingers could retrieve the cans.

I was thinking about making a self serve stack with the same basic design face plate as the original with just slightly larger opening holes. Then in between the holes just slightly to the right of the opening have a pull knob similar to the stoner candy machines. When you pull the knob it pulls the can or bottle slightly out of the opening just enough to grip the can/bottle to pull it out. It would be simple but effective. There is only two problems, it would be free vend and it would loose one selection. There is no way you could engineer something like this with as little space as is available on the original stack.
What do you think. Is it worth it? The original shelves could be used so that saves some cost but it would still be around $300.

I think that would be pretty cool. I think it would be a sellable item.

Josh,
Sent some mech pics to you thru email - let me know if you got them.
If you are trying to make an affordable inexpensive mech, why even bother with a rejector? Just have a coin chute - your target market probably doesn't care if it is a valid coin. They just want to put a coin in and turn the crank.
Design a mech with the correct mounting holes and a shaft with a single coin slot. You could include a ratchet and a single dog and that is all you would need.
Art has never been my forte, but here is a rudimentary design in MS Paint.

Ok I have found a large door / Small door mech from a friend. It is on its way here. Hopefully we will have a reproduction soon. First I am going to do the mounting plate and then work on the mech.

It appears to be a coin chute type mech with no form of rejector.
Also looks like you have to use their cover plate with it - the original and 'true to form' repro (like the one offered by SJW) wouldn't fit - the mounting bolts for the cover plate are farther apart on the original LD mech.
Hard to say for sure.
Competition Josh none the less!

Soda Springs bought Home Arcade. That mech has been around for a long time. They look terrible and at $400 each its not much of a bargin. i want two things. A low cost solution and an original looking solution. The first thing I am making is the adapter plate for small door mechs. This is something they did from the factory. And then later I want to replicate a small door mech to look original.
Here is a pic of the Soda Springs mech. It uses a HAPP 10 cent rejector

Right, Home Arcade gave me one of their prototypes before they went into production with them, if you needed just to insert a coin and push the handle of a large coin door machine then that mech would do it but I certainly wouldn't buy one, at least at the price they wanted. They gave me that mech around 15 years ago.
