Glasco /Ideal 55 coin mech

[zadd]

I recently bought a coin mech of EBay and I got it yesterday and everything looks great the problem is that some one has removed the collar on the flapper shaft . Can this be replace from another mech or just fabricate one . Any advice would be great . Thanks

I got your PM, I probably have what you need I have a good 4-5 parts mechs, some have the shafts cut off of them. If you can get me a picture of what you need, I can look. I plan on listing these in a single auction tonight.

This is the coin mech that is missing the sleeve . I was going to see if you might want to trade your Ideal 35 coin mech you talked about for the mech that came off my machine ? I also have an extra 15 cent coin mech backing plate and mechs I will throw in . I mainly need the collar for the mech I just bought . Let me know if you can help . Thanks Joey

This is the one that came off the machine , It works just needs cleaned up . It has dents from the inside , looks like someone tried to pop out a dent with a ball ping hammer .

Yea those are pretty rough  . Do yo know how to change out the sleeve, is it even possible ? I looked at my extra one and don't see how to remove it . I still don't know how they removed the one on the new mech unless there a little diferent .Thanks Joey

       I'm not really sure you need that full collar to make it work. That small one on
your mech looks to be placed properly to keep the shaft centered.

I have no idea?? I would think you could get it to work??

The shaft itself has about an inch of play . If you mount it to the flapper it kinda floats and isn't stable . I know I could figure something out on making it work . I  was just wondering how they removed it and if I could remove one from a doner mech ? 

[zadd]

If anyone has this style of coin mech . I would be interested how the sleeve is put together It looks like it was easly removed . I tried to put one off of a doner mech after a lot of work and the sleeve is slightly different .

        Doesn't look too easily removed to me!

[zadd]

That's a different style, the one in your pick is the same as my donor mech . I just cut the sleeve off the shaft and drilled out one end and slid it on the one in question and bolted on the mech and it works fine . Thanks guy's for your help .
