Title: Need a picture!
Post by: collecture on December 21, 2006, 12:16:42 am
Steve Ebner has kindly agreed to do a sheet of foil decals for me.
What I need is a decal for my 81A bezel indicating a nickel change-giver mech (picture in the photo gallery).
I have a picture of a decal, but it is not for my type bezel. I seem to recall seeing one that had the same wording, but also had 5¢ off to the left.
If anybody has another shot, please email me or post a copy.
I also have a nickel change-giver on my late model 39, so told him I will buy at least 4 off of him.

Tom,

Do you have Fun-Tronics' catalog...?
If so, check decal #209-A
If not, let me know and I can scan and post the image...

I do Jim.
If you look at my gallery in the Photo Gallery, you can see my V81A mech.
It vends on a nickel OR a dime, but gives a nickel change for the dime.
209-A is similar to a decal I think I saw except no mention of a dime or change.
209-G is similar to the picture above, but again no mention of a dime or change.
I have a nickel change mech in my V81A, my V39 and my S-48; however,
the S-48 has it's own instructional plate - no decal.

Thanks Terry!
You don't see too many of them.
I am looking for one to fit my VMC27.
It is the only one I don't have.
Below is my S-48 mech.

You're right Tom, these are difficult to come by.
I cannot remember what the decal looked like either...

Most of the time, I see these mechs in Cav 51's.
Occasionally in the Vendo 39 (same exact mech as the C51).
Rarely in the VMC27, VMC27A or VMC33.
Almost never in the V81.
At least I got a picture of one version of the decal.

Tom,

Will the coin mech found in a C51 fit a Vendo 81A or B. Any idea what a ammo belt sells for??

Thanks

A V39 mech and a C51 mech are exactly the same.
The shaft would need to be cut down to 2 7/8" (I think) for a V81 or V110.
Then you would need to drill a 1/16" hole on the horizontal for the pin.
I sold an ammo belt several years ago for $400 plus S&H.

If I can get at least a rough image and size I'd do the art and send it to Steve....

Thanks Eric!
The only image I have is at the top of this thread.
I am not sure if he needs new artwork though.
I think he is just changing the wording on an existing style.
I mailed him the pic above and a pic of my bezel.
When I bought the V39 changer mech off of you earlier this year,
you were also selling a V39 coin door with a stamped bezel on it.
I thought your bezel had a decal that looked different than above.
I'll call him after the holidays and see what would be best.
