Upgrading Coin Mechs

I just got my upgrade kits in the mail. I had ordered 2 1.00 upgrade kits for the NW80 and 6 .50 upgrade kits for the NW60. When I ordered the sales person told me I only needed a 4 quarter coin wheel, a coin pawl spring, and a lower coin pawl for the NW80. So I tore down a NW80 .50 mech to upgrade it and while assembling it noticed I did not need the new spring or pawl, after reassembling the mech with just the new coin wheel it worked perfectly. When it came to the NW60 I was told I needed the coin wheel, new face plate, coin dog and coin dog spring. So I tore down a 60 only to realize again all I needed was the coin wheel so I replaced that and reassembled and it too worked fine. I thought the A&A salesmen were a little more knowledgeable then that, I'll call them tomorrow and see if they will take the $33 of unneeded parts back and give a refund, or at least give me some kind of discount on next order.

It may also work with a quarter dime, quarter nickel, or quarter penny combination.

Better check to make sure. That's what the 2 pawls do for you. So you can't slide a different coin in on the front side of the mech. But you should have needed the new plate. All of them I have done have required it.

If you upgrade the .50 mech on the NW 80 all you need is a wheel to go to 1.00.

You guys were right, just tried it and it did work with a quarter/nickel combo will tear into them again tomorrow and try again. Did not have time to test earlier had to take daughter to the ER, but turned out everything was fine with her.
