Title: WC-42T Coin mech Post by: Vendo_110 on June 17, 2010, 07:47:33 am What mods, if any, are needed to use this mech in a V56rt or V-81?
Title: Re: WC-42T Coin mech Post by: loman4ec on June 17, 2010, 08:27:45 am can you attach a pic of the mech? I know the shaft and pin will need to extended and a new hole drilled.

Title: Re: WC-42T Coin mech Post by: loman4ec on June 17, 2010, 09:59:34 am There you go. Sice we are on the topic. what is the difference between a VMC 44 mech and a V81?
Title: Re: WC-42T Coin mech Post by: collecture on June 17, 2010, 01:51:13 pm Shaft length and pin hole location!
The VMC-44/88 shaft is longer and pin hole is on a diagonal (roughly 10 o'clock - 4 o'clock - not sure the exact degree off hand). Some VMC-44/88 mechs had 2 pin holes - one for the V-44 (on the horizontal) and one for the VMC-44/88 (on the diagonal). The VMC44/88 used metal door liners and the V-44 used plastic door liners. The metal could not be stamped as deep as the plastic liner (on the V-44) could be recessed; therefore, the extra shaft length on the dual 44 mech would just stick out in between the columns on the V-44 and would not interfere with stack operations. The V-44 pin hole is the same as the 56/81/110; however, if it is a dual 44 mech then the shaft would need to be cut off because off space limitations caused by the 56/81/110 main door liner. Tricky to write - hopefully it is understood! Title: Re: WC-42T Coin mech Post by: Vendo_110 on June 23, 2010, 06:49:41 pm Shaft length and pin hole location!

Tricky to write - hopefully it is understood! So if I understand correctly, 1. The 56/81/110 mechs are exactly the same 2. The 44/88 are the same and can be be used in a 56/81/110? Or is the shaft length too long? 3. The WC-42T mech can be modded to fit all of the above. Does that sound right? By the way Tom, I got the coin mech you did for me and can I just tell you it looks great!! I am going to post before and after pics so other people can admire it along with me!! :biggrin: Title: Re: WC-42T Coin mech Post by: collecture on June 24, 2010, 09:54:15 am So if I understand correctly, 1.

Does that sound right? #1 = yes along with the Vendo 44 #2 = VMC-44 & VMC-88 are the same, but not same as the Vendo 44. Shaft is too long and needs shortening to work in the 56/81/11. Shaft does not need to be cut to work in the Vendo 44 as long as a pin hole is drilled for it #3 = Any mech can be modded to fit any machine Rick - Glad the mech arrived safely - let me know if any issues arise. |
