Vendo Vari-Price 50 Changer question

[collecture]

I'm with johnnie here - it is not worth it for the home machine. When I redid the changer for  my WB-60, I took all of that out including the heater.
I fill the tube up with nickels and set a cup up with dimes and quarters in it. It vends on the dimes and the quarters returning three nickels change. Vends on two nickels too, which fill the tube back up!
Not only is it not necessary, but it constantly uses energy - when idle, the mech uses 0.1 amperes and approximately 8 Watts. These items are the main energy thieves.
