Title: New Years Project - Vendo Coin Changer Pole Mounting Plate Post by: Jim on January 03, 2012, 09:23:03 pm Hello everyone,
I try to be brief, but I would like feedback on the topic... I've been researching the idea of reproducing an aluminum pole mount back plate for the Vendo Coin Changer. My fabricator and I have narrowed down the slight changes needed from an "original back plate" to keep the project as "close to original" as possible while maintaining costs... With this said, I should be able to sell a few of them between $120 - $140 depending on quantity in the production. Is there a possible interest with a few members...? If so, questions, concerns or other ideas are welcome! Thank you for your time!

Or should I post this in the General Chit Chat so more people can chime in...? Title: Re: New Years Project - Vendo Coin Changer Pole Mounting Plate Post by: Kilroy on January 06, 2012, 12:40:11 pm I'd be all over it if I had a coin changer.
i'd post it in genral, there has to be people searching the 'net for a replacement Title: Re: New Years Project - Vendo Coin Changer Pole Mounting Plate Post by: SIGNGUY on January 06, 2012, 01:07:16 pm I think it's a great idea , however for me,, floor space is a valuable commodity and I prefer to hang mine on the wall...
just my two cents.. Title: Re: New Years Project - Vendo Coin Changer Pole Mounting Plate Post by: mznb1u on January 06, 2012, 03:12:51 pm I would buy one if I had a changer. Would love to get one of those someday.

I'd be interested in one also. Tom Title: Re: New Years Project - Vendo Coin Changer Pole Mounting Plate Post by: MCarter on January 07, 2012, 12:13:47 am I could be interested....
Title: Re: New Years Project - Vendo Coin Changer Pole Mounting Plate Post by: Ltransam on January 07, 2012, 09:09:46 am I also Would nterested in one .Is It Just the the Back Plate ? Including The Pole & Base ? Because Those are Harder to Find . Title: Re: New Years Project - Vendo Coin Changer Pole Mounting Plate Post by: Jim on January 07, 2012, 10:54:58 am Just to clarify, this will be for the "pole mount back plate"; I may have a complete setup for sale next month as pictured below...
AS for the slight changes, the first will be the way the pole guides/supports will be milled square to the plate whereas the original has a slight curve; the other will be how deep the pole guides/supports are... Meaning an original is approx. 3/4" high from the back plate; the reproduction would be approx. 5/8" high. This is due to billet aluminum stock sizes. Functionality will not be affected from these slight changes. Title: Re: New Years Project - Vendo Coin Changer Pole Mounting Plate Post by: Ltransam on January 07, 2012, 11:10:28 am AHHHH !!! Ok !! 1 Question Is the Orginial Stand Base The same Size as the LollyPop & PoliceMan Base ?? Title: Re: New Years Project - Vendo Coin Changer Pole Mounting Plate Post by: collecture on January 07, 2012, 12:14:33 pm An original stand is on the right.
The pole used a straight thread (not tapered like plumbing pipe) and was threaded through the base with a nut on the underside. Then the base could be bolted to the ground through the holes on each side. The Coca Cola stand I fabricated using plumbing pipe. I have original backing plates on both stands Title: Re: New Years Project - Vendo Coin Changer Pole Mounting Plate Post by: Jim on January 07, 2012, 12:42:01 pm Thanks for the Photos Tom ! ! !
Hope that clarifies the difference between bases/poles... And just for the record, I'm only looking at reproducing the back plate the pole/coin changer mount to. In Tom's photo, you can see the outer edge around the coin changer... |
