Title: westinghouse 44 will parts interchange Post by: a4man on November 09, 2014, 08:52:09 pm got a question--will a westinghouse 44 use the same part for a vendo 44--
like the rack--coin mech Title: Re: westinghouse 44 will parts interchange Post by: Ltransam on November 09, 2014, 09:46:36 pm Don't think the rack from a Westinghouse SK-44 will fit in a Vendo 44 But the coin mech should ? But I think you have to lengthen the shaft Title: Re: westinghouse 44 will parts interchange Post by: a4man on November 12, 2014, 02:58:59 pm thanks for the info
Title: Re: westinghouse 44 will parts interchange Post by: collecture on November 12, 2014, 04:39:43 pm The coin mech will not simply plug and play.
You will need to drill a 1/8" pin hole on the horizontal for the Vendo. The Westinghouse has a 3/16" pin hole on the vertical. The shaft will need to be extended and a 1/8" diagonal pin hole to work in a VMC-44. There is no "Nickel Feeler Flag" on the Westy mechs, so you won't have total control of the SO flag using it in a Vendo. It should still block coins from being accepted and display "Empty" when empty (assuming completeness), but the machine's SO Flag will not be able to move between "Insert Coins" and " No Quarters" without the SO Flag extension on the nickel feeler. Hope that makes sense! Title: Re: westinghouse 44 will parts interchange Post by: Ltransam on November 12, 2014, 09:09:19 pm Thanks Tom !!!!! I knew I had to extend the shafts on a couple of mine but forgot the drill 180 out Title: Re: westinghouse 44 will parts interchange Post by: collecture on November 13, 2014, 08:56:30 am I knew I had to extend the shafts on a couple of mine but forgot the drill 180 out The only reasons you would want to extend the shaft is: A: The mech as originally from a transitional machine (shorter than a Vendo) or B: You want it to fit a VMC-44/88 Vendo and Westinghouse shafts are the same length. |
