AJ519 Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 How can I tell if a 1" gumball machine will be okay to vend 1" acorn capsules" I have many oak/northwestern gumball machines and im wondering if I could just take out the riser and throw acorns in em.

orsd Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 Yup. Unless you have a rocket wheel (ramped profile) you should be good to go with the riser removed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ519 Posted September 8, 2023 Author Share Posted September 8, 2023 Are risers the spring that sticks off to the side high up on the gumball machine central rod? I run some gumball machines without these and they seem to do fine. Does it just serve to stir them around so they dont stick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orsd Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 No the riser is a Pac-Man shaped disc that goes under the wheel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSVEND Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 This is what a riser looks like for Oaks. https://www.ebay.com/itm/143595748038?epid=12060587638&hash=item216ef93ac6:g:lioAAOSwnTterzcC&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA0IToX3L%2BEEg5w32ykY88H4M2ZIEiJngZIFdp0Z8tKYxlzTEQO88NKk89sHehKUqN6sM6T7fl16hFGL9cvehWVpiIMMIZqCc32kDXJW8gFMA%2FeQCYHpwnA6uVFfzCRdYgVm3O7HSFIHieyf8RAitE0PSOhq5YzeE8prRoBpCj9degnVcEBjWPV%2F4LWZrcEub527mfJpzuBrsKfbW1nBgXE0qMUt9Dl0Ru9P6PjEpYBgMAT4OExMGqTufAnigRGEyYMtPUF9h%2Bv7%2B%2BwPChDXqVTqY%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR5SB8dTOYg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ519 Posted September 8, 2023 Author Share Posted September 8, 2023 Yeah ive never seen that part before. I guess none of my gumball machines I bought were properly set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
