mppuzzled Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Just purchased my first 50 cent machine. Had a box of bouncy balls I would like to fend from it. Problem is that every once in awhile 2 or 3 bouncy balls come out on a single turn. I've tried to move one of the springs over to the left and tuck it under the screw but still am having the same problem. I will post pictures so you can see. Any suggestions? Do I need to use another machine or different parts to vend these bouncy balls? Sorry guys. Won't let me post images. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mppuzzled Posted April 2, 2016 Author Share Posted April 2, 2016 Here are the two scenarios I tried to fend the bouncy balls. As you can see I tried to stretch the spring to cover hole better but still did not work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unhook the spring in picture 2 that is closest to the center rod and move it to the other side of the patent pending sticker. Hook it under that screw.

mppuzzled Posted April 3, 2016 Author Share Posted April 3, 2016 Ok I tried that. Still having the same problem and now a new one. Harder to turn wheel now because balls are getting jammed under the spring that I just moved under the screw. Any other suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mppuzzled Posted April 3, 2016 Author Share Posted April 3, 2016 Well I fixed the problem with the dispensing of double balls. I swaped the spring with the white plastic pieces on it with the one from image 3 that was under the screw. But now the coin mechanism is really hard to turn. Who knew these machines would make me think so damn hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heritagevending Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Is the coin mech hard to turn or is the vending wheel hard to turn? operate each one manually independent of the other. Sometimes the wheel will get bound up in those situations and needs removed and reseated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mppuzzled Posted April 13, 2016 Author Share Posted April 13, 2016 In the image I posted. The wheel will not turn. Coin mechanism turns just fine. However when I removed that single ball, the wheel turned without a problem. Let me rephrase that. The coin mechanism would not turn when the ball was there because the wheel was not turning. When I removed the ball they both would turn just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mppuzzled Posted April 13, 2016 Author Share Posted April 13, 2016 I placed these balls in some 2 in capsule's and that solved the problem. But adds to cost. :-/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heritagevending Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 I've had that problem with some balls I imported and also the sports themed super balls from AA. The balls aren't coated with silicone. They don't stick together but if your rub 2 of them together they don't slide off each other either. 2 fixes: 1-Mix them with generic 45mm or 49mm balls. It will fix the problem and bring your cost down. 2-Buy a can of food grade silicone spray from online and lightly coat the balls before you put them in. If you shop around you should be able to find a can for around $5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mppuzzled Posted April 13, 2016 Author Share Posted April 13, 2016 Wow this should work! And yes they are the nhl super balls Sent from my SM-N915V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mppuzzled Posted April 30, 2016 Author Share Posted April 30, 2016 Final answer! The problem was that the bouncy balls were too old and did not have the oils on them anymore! I ordered new bouncy balls and noticed they had some oils on them to make them slippery! Problem solved!
