Title: Is there anyone who rebuilds coin mechs?
Post by: on February 03, 2002, 05:29:16 pm
I have a few coinco and national rejector mechs from the 50s-60s and would like to get them rebuilt, new motherboards wiring whatever.  Does anyone provide this service out there?

I know Chris Keen used to restore coin mechs.  I'm not sure if he still performs this service.

I'd have to do a little digging to find some contact info... but let me know...

I would appreciate the info, Jim.  I found a motherboard and fixed one of the plastic coincos.  The ones I have left are the solid metal national rejectors from the late 50s early 60s.  Can you friend fix those?  Let me know.

Unfortunately, the information I have is outdated and after discussing things w/ Steve, I'm not sure recommending Chris is the right thing to do since there have been a various occassions in which people have had bad experiences. :(

Dan Kwate also used to restore coin mechs but we all know what happened there... angry2

Thanks for the kind words and associating me with Dan Quate
It would have been nice to contact me before spreading negative information about me and my services
My two cents
Chris Keen

Thanks for all the help everyone.  My neighbor is an electrical engineer and he thinks he can fix the mechs.  We'll see what happens anyways.

Chris,

This is my offical apology for associating you with Dan Kwate! blush

I guess this could be taken out of context and I aplogize...

As for my other statement regarding people having a few bad experiences, I'm only going on reliable sources and what they have told me...

If you're still restoring coin mechs, let everyone know by displaying your phone number and I'm sure someone will contact you!

Again, I'm sorry for my lack of consideration and will be sure not to be so quick to create anomosity with anyone! If someone had a problem with your service, I didn't want to a visitor to possibly experience a similar fate and then place blame on Soda-Machines.Com. That was my only concern...
