rodney69 Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Is there an upgrade for the older sports blaster? I have a few that have the old panel mount .25 coin mech in them and would like to upgrade them to .50. any info? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PerformaVending Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Are those the ones with the pre-Beaver looking mechanisms? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodney69 Posted August 20, 2016 Author Share Posted August 20, 2016 Here's a pic of one of the mechs. Jax is selling one on eBay and I haven't had time to pull mine out yet. But this is it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PerformaVending Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 From the pics you emailed me, it appears as though the "guts" of the mech are the same as other "stock" beaver gear, so in theory there should be some means of switching them out from behind, leaving the plate intact. If that doesn't work, it appears that one could use a thin piece of metal to fill the gap left by a "stock" mechanism. However, before you proceed, you may wish to talk to Beaver's people directly, as they may have a solution that doesn't require significant surgery on the unit, if not something that they can fit you with right out of the box. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodney69 Posted August 21, 2016 Author Share Posted August 21, 2016 I have a .50 newer mech. I'll have to try to see what fits. I think I already packed it though? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PerformaVending Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Keep me posted, and in the meantime I'll see if any more ideas strike me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodney69 Posted August 26, 2016 Author Share Posted August 26, 2016 I talked to beaver, they said the only way is putting in a Mech that you insert a quarter, then turn and insert another. Those dont typically work well. I'm contacting vend tech (uturn) to see if they have a conversion bracket since they own the blaster company now.

Hey buddy, would you be able to use the flat aluminum plate and the horseshoe bracket that are found on Spirals for the Beaver mechs? I have 3 of them if you can make those work. You can cut the aluminum plate to whatever size you need. If you need a pic just let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm probably going to wait a couple weeks. We're moving all of our equipment and I didn't want to strip it down only to lose something. Lol I'll call you when I get measurements. I already have a spot for one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick505 Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 As of right now it could be in my storage unit in Phoenix. I'm in Albuquerque now so I would have to get back to you. It holds the mech and covers the hole allowing for the new style mech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
