Recreation Center

[Hillbilly]

I posted  earlier about possibly getting a rec center location.  The guy told me today that I can go ahead and get the machine to do ping pong balls and that I can also do a candy machine for starter's.

I know Northwestern says you can do ping pong balls.  Does anyone know which wheel set to use?    Is it a special wheel? Should I use an 80 series or 60 series?  I'm leaning toward a 60 so I can just use a pipe stand since it is only 2 machines.  I can upgrade to a rack later if needed. Ping pong balls are 40mm. I will vend them at 50 cents.

Thanks

I collected $98.00 at my rec center last month (about 5 weeks) w/ GB's and PMM's.

Dont you just love bulk vending Kelly?

Way to go Kelly. That is incredible.

Kelly, you're a gravy-lounging son-of-a-gun.

Cool, I hope this does as well.

Hillbilly,

                Here's some people that sell ping pong ball machines. Maybe just by snooping around you can find out what you need.

Thanks Islander.

I checked the parts list of NW machines and they show a special wheel for them. Runs about 19.00 for wheel and brush housing.  I'll contact them in the morning and see.  May be better off to get a new machine from them because I want to do .50 cents mech.

  It would be cheaper to get new mechs and new wheels than a new machine.

Kai,  Would the conversion kits you were talking about on Saturday take care of my problem?  Also can you put 2 model 80's on a pipe stand or would I have to come up with something else? Maybe go with the triple plate? Would A&A have the conversion kits or NW?

[kai1836]

  Yes nw has a conversion kit that will make your mechs 50Cent.  You would probably need a triple bar for the 80's to be mounted on. Pipe stand. Not sure how stable it would be.
