kai1836 Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 In order to switch a mech from 25 to 50 cents will I need a whole new mech for these or can you buy a new plate? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quarter Master Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 You would need a whole new mechanism which has 2 slots for quarters.Single quarter mech has only 1 slot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jax Snacks Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Northwestern sells upgrade kits for both the 60 and 80 mechs. The 80 mech has a very clever modular design and it can be converted to accept 2, 3 or 4 quarters. Call them for a quote and instructions. It may also be a good idea to simply get a few extra mechs to act as replacements in the future. The kits may save you about $10 per mech though. However, nothing is cheap any more!

antoniocinisi Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 I`d buy 1 extra and switch the rest out.it`s easy to upgrade the mechs.it will save u good money even if u have a few of them,money that can go elsewhere for other things.

nepavend Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 If it were .01, .05, or .10 mechs to a .25 mech, then you can do it. The .50 mech and up require a whole new assembly. I have about 50 mechs, half of them Oak, that all I needed was the plate and gear for .25 conversion. One call to my friendly Oak rep, and I got the mechs from ebay and the conversions from Oak for about $12 per mech plus elbow grease! Not bad for a ton of mechs. I set aside the NWs (only a couple) that I will do the same thing with down the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
