heemtj Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Hey guys I was wondering if anyone had 2 50 cent coin mechs for super 60's that I could buy from you. I have a 3 head rack to place but the two super 60's on the bottom are 25 cents and I wanted to increase profits by making them 50 cents. If you have them feel free to inbox me so we can work something out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrGranger Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 I think some use a converter to upgrade the .25 to .50 mech. I haven't gotten any yet, not sure how well they work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillbilly Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 They work excellent if you get them from NW. The A&A do not work so well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mainor5251 Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 I just got an email from ups about a package so that means I got 2 newly redesigned A&A .50 mechs on there way, these are suppose to have fixed the jamming issues of the old ones they were $13 each plus shipping. They work excellent if you get them from NW. The A&A do not work so well. how much are NW's upgrade kits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillbilly Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Here is everything you will need to do the upgrade from NW. 3-612-35 $3.95 Back to Back 50Cent Wheel 3-612-14 $7.50 Two Coin Face Plate 3-612-36-1 $0.50 Top Coin Pawl 3-612-36-2 $0.50 Bottom Coin Pawl 3-612-47 $0.30 Coin Pawl Spring 2 Coin 5-350-15 $1.50 Back to Back .50 Decal I haven't tried but I'm pretty sure the A&A wheel will work with the NW parts. I also use price decals from sweetstop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lurtsman Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 3-612-35 $3.95 Back to Back 50Cent Wheel 3-612-14 $7.50 Two Coin Face Plate Northwestern used to be cheaper on selling these kits, though they'll deny it now. There just isn't a strong field of competition because these machines aren't really a commodity. As such they can charge drastically higher profit margins. I love the machines, don't care for the company. That said. An upgraded northwestern mech is better (presents less misvends, less quarter accumulation behind the wheel, slips in easier, and is much more difficult to break) than the A&A ones. I have several A&A mechs because their whole mech is about the same price as a conversion kit--which meant I could sell the old mechs online and recoup part of the cost. The first time you do it it takes a while (20-60 minutes--depending how mechanically inclined you are and how many notes you want/need to take). By the 6th time I was doing them about 5 minutes per mech. (Starting with the mech in a locked machine) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lurtsman Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 heemtj Timber was pulling your leg. Northwestern sells them for about 20-22 bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timberframe50 Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Lurts your right. I was waiting till he asked before I came clean. Last time I bought them they were 20.50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrGranger Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 He's a reseller but the cheapest I've found is http://www.gumballmachinesdirect.com/. The shipping from NW is so high for me that GMD (even though he's a reseller) is cheaper when I buy enough to get the free shipping. NW shipping is so high that it's hard to justify.
