Title: Replacement 5/10 cent coil
Post by: vendo63 on August 11, 2021, 08:05:28 pm
I am trying to locate a replacement coil for my vendo H63 coke machine. It finally died after many years. I did a thorough internet search and came up with nothing. I also went to the Facebook area for vintage machines and no luck. Is it possible to rewind my old coil ?

Well, I've gone through my remaining metal mechs & the only one that's intact is this FP-9700 series , but I have no idea if this would fit... & your pictures are of the disassembled coil...so I dont know


You do realize that you really dont need the coin reject electromagnets ( C.R.E.M.s) coils to operate the machine in a home/hobby environment? you could leave the wires disconnected & taped off & the coinmech will function just as well without them when push comes to shove ((so to speak) I know this would bug some people, but functionally the coimech will be just fine.

Hello Jon
I think the spare coil you have might be what I need.
