Title: Help with Vendo Coin Changer parts Post by: bcharlton on November 07, 2011, 09:42:08 am Restoring a Vendo Coin changer and it is missing these 2 parts. They are the arms that determine whether the unit delivers 2 or 5 nickels. Does any one have these? I will have them machined at a local shop if necessary but I thought I would try the board first.
Thanks Brian Title: Re: Help with Vendo Coin Changer parts Post by: Jim on November 07, 2011, 10:08:04 am I don't have the parts, but be care and make sure your zinc-plater doesn't loose ANY parts ! ! !
Also check to see that type of rivets your changer has, steel, brass/bronze or aluminum; aluminum rivets will allow parts to fall off while the zinc plating process occurs! Hopefully helpful...

Thanks Title: Re: Help with Vendo Coin Changer parts Post by: collecture on November 07, 2011, 11:07:59 am Like Jim said - check all rivets (solid and semi-tubular) and assemblies. I have restored 10 or so and no changer has been assembled the same. An assembly that survived Muriatic acid during one restoration fell apart on the next.
I don't think anyone would have those arms, but worth a shot I guess. Good Luck! |
