Title: Nickels stick in vendo 50 Post by: uamsclay on April 14, 2010, 12:19:02 am I just bought a lacrosse machine with a vendo 50 coin mechanism. The lacrosse is a model lcv 120 (I believe) and seems to be fine, just needs freon. But nickels stick in the coin mechanism near the magnet after initial sorting. Any ideas? Quarters and dimes work fine, and mechanism seems to be spotless. I don't know anything about these things, so any help whatsoever would be appreciated.
