I received a coin mech for my large door vendo 81. it seams to be a wc44 change giver. From reading some past posts it seems it will work fine. the only differance is it has no SO Flag trip and the hole on the back of the shaft is 1/4 inch on the vertical instead of 1/8 inch on the horizontal. is there a way to get the flag to work, and do I need to do I need to drill a new hole in the shaft for it to work?
The shaft should be the same length with the only difference being the hole for the linkage pin. You should drill a new hole. Make sure the hole is centered, straight and not wallowed out otherwise you'll have problems. I take all my shaft modifications to a machine shop to do.
For the SO flag to work with the WC mech, you'll need to have an extension arm attached to what is called the 'Coin Blockout Link Actuationg Assembly', which is the long skinny piece with the small pivot at the bottom sticking into the change tube.
Also I have another large door coin mech with the small door small door coin mech? I was wondering what I was missing on it for it to work. I know I need the rejector, but I think it's missing parts for the flag to work also. Are these parts avalible? Any help is welcome. Thanks. Here is a pic of that coin mech.
It is not missing anything - those type mechs are called straight sale mechs - usually the machine had a decal saying "Do Not Deposit Coin If bottles Are Not Visible" because money cannot be returned once inserted in the machine. The SO Flag was stationary and said "Use Correct Change" through the window always.
