Do people collect old change machines? I have four of these machines and ten extra hoppers. Unfortunately, I can't find the keys to put in the hoppers and see if they still work. I currently use them as props in my game room. I'm curious if others have change machines in their game rooms.
IMG_20191124_200921 (resized).jpgQuoted from KenLayton:Yes, some people do collect those.
As to not having keys, it's time to get out the drill and drill out the lock core (or simply pick it open).
Yep, that's the plan if I can't find them. Still looking!
Quoted from ryan1234:I made mine into a liquor cabinet.
Took everything out and put mirrors and shelves in it.[quoted image][quoted image]
That's great!
Quoted from 64bsstp:What? Nobody has an old Rowe "light drawer" model? Or, the BC-8 with all the coin tubes? Cool stuff. If the lock cylinder is a National lock hit the center post that the key turns on to the side with a screwdriver and hammer. The guts will pull out and you can look in and push the locking tab to unlock it. Takes 30 seconds.
I plan on trying to knock out my lock over the holiday. I'm certain it'll take me more than 30 seconds. LOL.
Lots of good ideas! I like the liquor cabinet idea. My wife said I can keep one of the change machines and make it a liquor cabinet.
Quoted from Isochronic_Frost:If you’ve got any that you’re selling I’d be interested in helping!
I'm not really interested in selling them. Once I get them open and working I would def be up for trading a couple of them. I only need one. They were working before they went in storage but I'd like to verify first.
