1 cent/5cent machines

I've been browsing Ebay for gum machines and noticed that some machines come in the 1 cent or 5 cent model. Are the coin mechanisms in these interchangable? I'm just wondering if the 5 cent machines were originally 1 cent and someone has combined parts to make a workable machine or if the 5 cent machines were just later versions? Appreciate any input on this.

Acorn gum ball machines coin mech's are interchangable. I should have some spare mech's if needed.

Most are pretty interchangable within the brand. Any certain ones you've been looking at?

Not really looking for anything special. I'm just curious if people buy several junk machines and try to make a good one. I'd rather have originals, but wasn't sure about some of the ones I see on Ebay. I've picked up a few to restore and keep, but most on Ebay are out of my price range. Thanks for the info.

On an Acorn you can switch out the penny wheel with the nickel wheel... was done all
the time on the routes. you should be able to pick up a Acorn for around $25 and a Topper
for around $45 on eBay... Fun little machines...
