dperry Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Just like space aliens, loch ness monster and ghosts, nobody can produce any solid evidence that there are 50c vendstar mechs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vendstarphilly Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 I have developed a .50 coin mechanism interchangeable with all Vendstars. Manufacturing has begun and it will be available by summer 2014. Bulk pricing available. Please join my facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/1381968738718950/ to stay updated with our progress and purchasing information. Thanks a bunch! Would anyone be interested in a .75 coin mech? What would you sell for .75? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vendstarphilly Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 I didn't say I had 1, yet ... I have the specs for producing 1. Trying out 3d printing them this month but if it doesn't come out perfectly I will have to have a mold made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the 3D printers I've seen don't work with high strength plastics. There are some out there that do, but they're pretty expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post sherlock Posted December 29, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted December 29, 2013 Come on Sherlock. You know the manufacturing process begins in the mind. --Steven In that case, I have an announcement: I have designed bulk vending machines that refill themselves and electronically deposit coins into your bank account so that vendors no longer need to physically visit their locations. Bulk pricing will be available. Join me on Facebook NOW because manufacturing has already begun!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makes Cents Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Replacement Plastic .50 coin mechs. Now Vendstar owners can lose twice as much when people force vend and drop slugs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vendstarphilly Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 If you have one why don't you show a pic of it and allow people to join your facebook??? Check out the video on youtube (do a google search) It's not the final product but I did manage to produce a vid of Vendstar accepting 50¢ I apologize the fb group is now open!

vendstarphilly Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 What material are you making it from? Most of the 3D printers I've seen don't work with high strength plastics. There are some out there that do, but they're pretty expensive. This 3D printer is used to make prosthetics so it can be done with very high quality plastic. It's only 1 small internal piece that's being printed. we're producing a couple versions over the next month or 2 and I am testing a few different modifications that should improve the vending machine coin turn functionality overall. Personally I want to fill all my candy machines with 'healthy' nuts but the profit margin is non existent there for a quarter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vendstarphilly Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 maybe this Bart Thanks Bart. This video is of a tinkered vendstar coin slot. Not what final product will be. As you can see it does accept 50¢ and was pretty easy to configure, however, it is not perfect and wouldn't be easy to duplicate the exact requirements on so many coin slots. Instead I am having that particular part replicated with a couple adjustments so that it will turn more comfortably and protect the integrity of original coin op Are these single quarter vending machines soon to be like the 5¢ and 10¢ machines of the past. I hope not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GagesVending Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 So whatever happened to this vendstarphilly? No idea, but I think a better question is who "invests" so much time and money on a machine no longer manufactured and considered to be the $10 craigslist find? I have plenty of them in subpar locations, but the thought of improving them would never cross my mind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
