Mike Morris Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 Found this at a antique mall don’t know much about coin ops is it worth it or pass it by? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Michael Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 It's 'working' only in terms of the fan motor. The missing parts for the coin operation,, *if* you can find them all, will run over what you can buy an actual *complete* fan for. Search here, there's many posts on these and expect Kim Frank has exploded views of all the pieces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likely the feed screw missing, anyone still make those? Definitely over $100 there... continuity ($75?) switch, vault door ($85?), it adds up FAST! Don't even THINK he'll find a counter...

Paul Michael Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 *IF* you can verify the note gears are still there, then, maybe buy it. If anyone still makes or has the coin knob, then it's possible you might complete the project.... If you like it as is, then, yes, Buy it!

Do search KF's detailed posts, my search function is giving me trouble right now. But I do see it looks like that coin knob is NOT available: https://new.afcaforum.com/index.php?/topic/1066-nick-rodnicki-or-someone-else-repop-coin-op-knob/#comment-6704 (There were NO replies since March of 2022.)

Paul Michael Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 It looks like the nut holding the nose gear, on the boss nest tho the blade shaft, *is* present in your photo. If so, it is most probable that the nose gears are still present. *But* they could be worn out, and the rocker linkage could also be broken from the previous cruel treatment this fan received. (Blade removed in photo attached.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Henderson Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 I'd let it go without the coin knob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quentin Malzahn Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 (edited) Wow no way you found that at an antique mall thats awsome. Its worth buying even if the coin mechanism doesn’t work. Edited May 21, 2023 by Quentin Malzahn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
