U TURN VENDING COIN MECH

Recommended Posts

Can someone tell me what the purpose of the spring is in the coin mech. Is it to detect slugs? It seems to work fine without it but since I don't have any literature on it I would like to know the purpose of it.

Which spring? The one on the top, or the bottom? On the inside or on the back outside? If your holding it in your hand with the back off...

The one on the top left is to keep it from spinning past with something shorter than a quarter like a slug. The one on the bottom left corner is so it can't go backwards and give free vends, and the one on the outside with the back on is so it stops anything that is thinner than a quarter. 

 

The one  on the outside may be different. It depends on if it's older or newer. If you need more specifics, you can upload a pic.

It's the one that has the small screw on the back to hold it in place. It seems like the one you said probably checks for slugs. If that's the case I can use with out it at least until I can find someway to have some springs made. We are checking in to that. Thanks Rodney. I 'm still working on the stands for the gumball machines.

If you post a pic our send one to my email, I probably have them. If not uturn would, but most likely I do. I think Jamey has coin mechs for sale? He's the one in the classifieds section that is looking for lids and locks.

I sent one to your email because I can't figure out how to upload one. I tried contacting U turn to get them and they won't respond. I have changed a lot of the machines from 8 to 4 so I still have quite a few mechs but this particular spring seems to cause a lot of malfunctions. Tks

That's a new one on me, unless they are bent down to far to begin with and the tip is catching?

This is one reason I don't buy them any more.
