What would be your pick for perfered square top coin mech? This would be for a USS-64 and VMC-56 (standard jones plug).
Thanks!

I also want to change out the mech in my VMC 56.  Currently has a National in it.  Any thoughts appreciated.

I go with Coinco's 'mechs for novelty & "home-use" (the S75-9800/A-B series) for simplicity of operation, if the machine is going into a public use area, (ie: vending sodas from a "classic" machine) then I go with a 'mech like a Coinco DEX model, as it can have its price set up to $13.00/vend...& are adaptable to DBA's (dollar-bill-acceptors)....

Thanks!
I'm almost good to go. JonnieG, I need a third A or B. Have an A that looks to be toast. Let me know if you have one.

I'd agree with Johnie.  Coinco S75's for the authentic look.  If you don't care about that and want something a little more versatile, I really like the MARS 5800 I have in my Squirty machine.  9-Pins, takes nickel, dimes and quarters in inventory & dollars into the coin box, price can be set > $3 (can't remember how high), can find them on ebay for as little as $5 + shipping if you are patient.
