    Same here.

    I'd like to get one, as a piece of "arcade furniture". It would not take up space used by a pin or something valuable.

    If I could find one in Canada I might, but don't see them at all . . .

    man I loved these as a kid. I agree with frolic that it would great in a gameroom.

    #9 8 years ago

    I'd love a small multi tiered one..might be
    A cool project to make one as a wall hanging, or repurpose a piece of furniture....
    Had a friend who left a few rolled $100 bills in his...always got played.
    When he first got it his wife put in reward
    Coins in the machine, wink, wink, along with a few from the honey do list.
    I'll let you decide what the gold award was....

    I don't know how fun it will be at home, but I found a deal and will be adding a coin pusher to my home arcade on Thursday. I figure it might be some fun at parties. Already buying stupid trinkets, mostly from Aliexpress, to put in there. If you have other ideas please feel free to post them. Looking for fairly cheap items for kids or adults.

    Yeah I don't know...feels like it could be fun to load it up with those bottles if we have an adult party. We've hosted staff parties before.

    Dc Superheros coin pusher has the right idea. Have cards in there, there's some skill involved in that case. Cards on top slide back when they get close to the end, and cards with a coin on top of them push through quite easily. See the vid below how the Joker card seems to be easy to get right at the end near the chute but falls back away from the chute the DC card works its way through and into the chute quite easiy as it has a coin on top of it, Joker does not.

    There are some serious epic one's in japan. That's what I would get. Except they are over 20g and weigh 1000lbs

    Not sure how that would work in a home setting. Maybe create some custom cards for prizes that are too large to fit on the slider shelf, but can still be won. Basically a jackpot. I just don't want to over complicate things. I intend to give people the tokens then they can keep any prizes they win.

    #17 4 years ago

    Nice prizes you picked!

    That makes me think I should change out the Junk in the old Cranes I have and make it more interesting in Prizes!!

    Any other ideas what to add to a pusher or crane?

    I just kind of enter a keyword into Aliexpress and see what the best selling items are. It's great for cheap junk.

    The cards make it interesting. Coins pushed over the edge, not so interesting. DC Superheros is the only coin pusher I've ever had interest in playing. The cards are collectible (getting them for my kids...really I am ) and redeemable for prize points too. Sets are worth a lot of points. So its the search for different cards and assembling the set that is interesting. Coins going over into the chute can count as points too if you want but that's a way to lose interest if that's all the coin pusher does. IMHO.

    I can handle it in posts, but for the love of all that is good and holy, please revise your thread title to have it use the correct word "their" and not "there."

    No pusher here, but I do have a crane. Why are they so heavy? I dread the day I have to get it back up the stairs. I still can't believe I got it down all by myself, even with an Escalera!

    Just some more geeky junk I'm thinking about ordering to toss in my game.

    There are a ton of different versions of these for around $3 each. I think they would be fun to pull out of a crane game.

    It takes a lot more quarters then I was thinking to set them up. I've added $150 worth to mine so far. It's to the point where you don't win every time, but you do win quite often. My goal it to keep it fairly sustainable...where it's dropping about what you are putting in. Dropping includes the sides (house edge) and front (winnings).

    I think it'll be pretty useless, don't really know who will use it in my house.
