Missing allwin vending mechanisms

the only one I'm not too sure about is the WIN-A-CIG

Hi scottie
I was sure we had been on this topic before
I have just looked back to Oct 2008, and found this info which will give you some food for thought over the cig payout

Thanks slotalot.... that was really helpful.
Looks like the delivery system for the cig is a bit more work to make to say the least....
I think the deliver system for the WIN-A-CHEW and the other one would be a lot easier to make,

Hi scottie
Here are some photos of a typical sweet payout system, most of Oliver Whales sweetie machine are like this
Note the slot in the end of the sweet payout slide, this is to let the penny through when the slide is at rest,
also note that the payout knob only turns about a quarter turn then back again, and not a full turn as with a cash payout machine,
I hope this is of help

Great pictures... I will have my work cut out for this winter,

Hello,
I am restoring an Oliver Whales WIN-A-CIG. I need to have some of the "payout" parts made. The parts that hold the cigs and all the parts that move and deliver the cig to the winning player.
My question is, how long and how wide is the cylinder-shaped part that moves the cig from the holder and dumps it into the tin chute?
Thanks,
Scottie.

Do the cigs just sit on a metal plate that has a slot cut out of it?
When the knob is turned, another plate is moved exposing more of the metal plate that has a slot cut out of it and the cigs fall into the chute and out the front of the machine.

Looks a lot easier than making a solid metal tube with a groove machined out of it to hold the cigs... no gears and less parts to make.
Any comments????
Scottie.
