QBTCoin Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Anyone know of a source for empty 2" round capsules? I have a merchandiser game that occasionally jams when the standard flat bottom capsules fall flat and back up in the prize chute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ButlersVending Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Yes. Actionmatic sells them: http://actionmatic.com/toy-filled-capsules/empty-capsules.html However, they also have their own short-fallings. Those which we bought several years ago were poly-styrene, and they would sometimes fall apart. When those which fell apart hit a hard surface, the "male" parts of the fastening system frequently would break off, rendering them useless. Also, they were relatively expensive. However, this problem is easy to overcome, if plastic glue were to be applied to the contacts before snapping together. (In the long-haul, it may be less expensive to get rid of that vender.)

mjacks Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Cardinal or A&A are good sources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QBTCoin Posted July 30, 2013 Author Share Posted July 30, 2013 I should specify that I'm looking for perfectly round 2" capsules. Every place I've looked has caps with flat bottoms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BorderJerry Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 A&A has some different foam balls out now about that size. The old round caps that I saw were 2.3". Maybe Cardinal's 2.2 inch would work, they are round but with a collar...there are some from China but you will have to shop around for a decent price / size: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/plastic-toy-capsules-for-vending-machine/685149642.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A&A has completely round 2.3" capsules that I have gotten in the past. They work in all my machines with out problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
