Source for 2" round capsules

Recommended Posts

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.

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.)

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:

I should specify that I'm looking for perfectly round 2" capsules.

Every place I've looked has caps with flat bottoms.

 

A&A has completely round 2.3" capsules that I have gotten in the past.  They work in all my machines with out problems.
