Coin Mechanism Tear Downs - Oak Acorn and Beaver New Generation

- The coin mechanism on a bulk vending machine is a simple machine itself but it performs a very important job. It takes a coin, validates it, then transfers it over into the cash box for the machine as it vends out your product. Vend Craft owner and host, Justin Banner, takes you through the process of disassembly and operation of each part of an Oak Acorn and a Beaver New Generation coin mechanisms, including the Beaver's double-action clutch handle.
Vend Craft is dedicated to the art of refurbishing, restoring, and customizing gumball machines, candy dispensers, and other vending machines. We teach by documenting the work we do on video here on RUclips. We also provide services for these machines for the Los Angeles area.

Fantastic video! Well done!! Thank you for selecting our mech to take apart to help the industry see how it all works! :)
Thank you! It is a great design and I can see why people use your coin mechanisms.
The square screwdriver is a Roberson.

Yeah, a new video
Thanks and, yeah, I'm trying. I appreciate the comment and view!
Would they be able a beaver mechanism with a fake quarter or cardboard circle? They did it on my northwestern in schools.
Unfortunately, so long as it has the right dimensions, anything hard enough will "fool" a coin mech. Add in wear of the validators and their springs and even something like a cardboard coin could get past.
The only way to validate metal is doing so electronically. Unfortunately that adds complexity and potential failure that would end up rejecting all coins.
The best solution is just maintaining your coin validator and inspecting it with real and fake coins to make sure the validators are working as they should. Also expect slippage as an unfortunate part of the business, but warn your location that it's happening and work on a solution between both parties, especially if you are sharing a percentage of what you take out of a location.
So really, in order to possibly trick the beaver machine, is to make a hard material circler coin looking thing to be able to lift up that mechanical part.
"to trick the beaver machine" = Robbing the owner of the goods they payed for. Would you steal a chocolate bar off a shelf? Why is this any different?
Mate, maybe u can help me out. I'm trying to adapt my mechanisms to have 2 coins in one slot, so I can take till 4 coins in 2 slots. Have u done it?
Have u adapted this?
Or do you know someone who sells this?
I am missing the levers that help lock the coin in place, any suggestions on where to get a replacement or just buy a new set ?
Try Gumball Stuff as they carry hard to find and vintage parts.
How can you tell the different brands of coin mechs? I have a.25 coin mech in my sports blaster pin ball that I want to upgrade to a .50 coin mech but I don’t know which brand to use.

Can anyone tell me how to JUST get the coins back OUT of a northwestern 80 series toy capsule machine? I just got an old one, no manual. Cant find the users manual online. Idk how to get my coins out!
There's a lock in the top, use the key to unscrew that lock. It holds the entire machine together, you can then just lift up on the bottom section of the machine to access the coins. If course, If you don't have the key, look up how to drill the lock out of a bulk vending gumball machine.

Hello, I have gumball machines that work on 500lbp coin it is a lebanese currency. In lebanon we are facing inflation so the 500lbp coin is worthless, so i need to change the coin I use and because of inflation rising everyday I need to use a TOKEN to adjust prices weekly. Is it possible that I could adjust the same mechanism to change it from 500lbp to a different size coin (token)? Thank you for your help I appreciate your time.
I can help you please call the office Tues to Friday 7 to 330 central time USA
