Title: Buyer beware!
Post by: collecture on July 04, 2009, 11:06:32 am
This mech is on eBay right now -
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200358746631&viewitem=&sspagename=ADME%3AX%3ARTQ%3AUS%3A1123&salenotsupported
I emailed the seller asking whether he had the coin chute that is missing at the top and he said no. I emailed back that he should really modify his description to include the fact that it is missing and he ignored me.

I guess that is why it is on free vend because there is no way for the coins to get to the rejector and mech. He also states that it will work in the 44, 56, 81 or 110 and that is partially true. The shaft is the same, but the coin chute is different for the 44 than the 56, 81 and 110. It will not work on the VMC-44/88 without shaft modification.

Anyway, just alerting anyone here of the missing part!

I need one of each of these coin chutes in order to make the plate I have been working on to adapt the small door mech to large door. I need to borrow one of each to reproduce them if anyone has them. I would only need them for a few weeks.

So he did! Took him a couple of days, but glad to see he is honest.

Josh,
You really only need the 44/88 chute because the 56/81/110 chute is the exact same design except shorter - see pic - the 44/88 chute is on the right.

Ok cool but for some reason my mech is also missing the chute all together. I need one to use as a guide.
