Title: Where to buy? Help needed!
Post by: collecture on January 22, 2010, 12:57:41 pm
I am restoring a Vendo Coin Changer mechanism for a customer. He is missing one of the cup washers used to attach the bezels to the cover. I have searched around and can't find one.

Anybody have one or know anywhere to buy one? Thanks!

I have some if you need it before Funtronics is open again.  I can Fedex them and you'll have them tomorrow if you really need it badly.

Also, I swear saw them at a local Ace hardware store the other day.

Here are a few pics of the washer Tom and Matt are seeking. 

The first object is of course just a quarter for size reference.  The second object is the correct washer for a changer and the third object is a speed nut washer cap I found at the hardware store a few minutes ago.  It has a taller profile but would work after drilling a small hole.  That was the closest I could find but I wasn't at my favorite hardware store either.

Finally, the object at the bottom is the washer Funtionics sells for machines such as the Vendo 44.  It is very similar to a finish or trim washer that you can find at most hardware stores in a pinch.
