SSF BULK VENDING NEED HELP

Post by Acecombat »

okay guys and gals,
I have a few ssf bulk vending machines, I currently sell bouncy balls in them, unfortunately, the machine is producing 2 bouncy balls instead of the 1, does anyone know how I can make it vend only 1 without making it obvious i'm doing it?

Thanks

sounds like you are using 27mm bouncy balls and the hole in the capsule wheel is too big so its vending 2 balls. way round it is either use 32mm bouncy balls or mix in 32mm balls with the 27mm balls.

thing is I can't find the 32mm balls cheap enough in a big enough quantity, so I am using 27mm balls, is there anyway around it without having to mix and match/ find a cheap 32mm ball?
if you know anywhere that does them cheap for the 32mm could you pass on details too me please?

Thanks

try making the three holes smaller by supergluing layers of thick card onto the edges so that only one ball falls into the hole each time.

I've checked midland vending and they are only doing them where you get 100 and it would cost more than 13p per ball including p&p
also on the other 2 websites it did not provide me with the prices with the postage costs...

Thanks
