Yeah, I have not heard great things about that mech.
I didn't connect the mech to H.A.'s when I first saw it as I haven't seen pics of many and have never held one - on top of that I had never heard of Soda Springs before or that they bought H.A.
I see the rejector mounts in John's picture now that I have seen Josh's picture of a complete mech.
Josh,
You mentioned a shaft idea in email.
I guess your mechs will fit the big 3 manufacturers - Vendo, VMC & Westinghouse.
The LD Mech shaft on the Jacobs 56 (Pepsi Light up) and the Sure-Vend machines is much shorter and the end of the shaft is turned to a smaller diameter. Your idea wouldn't work for these machines.

Here is a pic of what I am starting with. This is the original mech that is being shipped to me. I am going to make the adapter first and send one back to the USA and make sure that it works. Venxt I am going to try to replicate the small door mech. I am going to make the mech without a rejector. The mech will be able to use an original rejector or it will come with a bypass chute. With the chute in place the mech will work on either a nickle or a dime.
As for the shaft. I have a project for everyone. I need to know the shaft length and pin hole location for all of the different machines. I plan on making the shaft the length of the longest application and have the shaft pre drilled with the pin holes for all machines. The shaft will also be scored and labeled where to cut for the different machines. That way with only a hack saw and 5 minutes the mech can be used on all of the major machines. It is unfortunate that the mech will not work on the Jacobs and selectivends but I am more worried about the other more popular and more plentiful models.
I also have a question. I am thinking about making a cheep free vend only mech that will not accept money. Possibly just have a cash box to collect inserted money. All I have to do is have the shaft and the mounting plate. It would be cheep and easy. Do you think a low cost alternative like this would sell?

I made 2 Coin mechs for Vendo 56's several years ago made from an old metal coin mech bodies from Cav. 72's and 2 small coin door mechs from 2 selectivends that were parts machines. I also had to weld on a shaft extension and drill a hole in it but everything worked smoothly and I am sure they are still out there somewhere. I think I still have the coin chute and bottom coin guide for the coin box I made for a third one that I never had the need to make.

Josh,
I just need to know the measurements of Vendo 44 shaft - distance from the bushing on the back of the mech...also how the pin hole is drilled on the back of the mech (ie. horizontal, diagonal or vertical. I believe the V-44 is different from the VMC-44 in length.
I have shafts to measure for the:
Westinghouse 42, 44, 96 (I'm 99% sure the 160T is the same)
Vendo 56, 81 and 110
VMC 44, 88, 81, 110 (I'm 99% sure the 144 is the same)
Jacobs 56
Sure Vend P-47
So get a V-44 measurement and I have the rest of them!

That is great news. Thanks for your help. I think the mech I am getting came out of a V-44 so we are set. My mech is missing one vital Part and I need another part to make sure everything will work. I have attached a picture with the two parts I need circled in red. If anyone has either of these two pieces that they are willing to donate for a short time I would greatly appreciate it.

Josh,
The top part you have circled is a standard LD coin chute already reproduced by both SJW and Fun-Tronics.
The bottom circle is just the coin chute on the mech

I have a reproduction coin chute at my moms house packed away in the attic but she cant find it. I can make the mech coin chute but I need the standard chute in order to know where to mount the missing mech chute. I will email Funtronics.

On the LD SD mech shell, two oval slots are cut out so the chute can be adjusted in or out to line up with both the rejector and the coin chute.
You should have these holes cut into the mech you are getting.
