Coin slide Mechanism basics

posted in: Coin Mechanism

An “ESD” coin slide mechanism and a little on how it works. These can be found at laundromats, arcades, on coin op pool tables and various other devices.

I said it can be set down to $.50, but if you used the quarter insert and the dime insert, you could get it down to $.35

    Oh, I never knew how they worked! Though I remember them from a game room at a diner.

    Pretty simple for something that looks complex. They are still used extensively to this day.

    Hey mate, thanks for this video! I've been paying out the a$$ for laundry and watching this let me learn how to hack these slide mechanisms. Took an old car wiper blade, removed the metal spline from the rubber… it fit perfectly and was easy to insert and press the little metal nubby down. FREE LAUNDRY! epic!

    I'm having trouble with my vertical 8. The coins are not dropping through to the box. Ive gone through every youtube video looking for help. The spring was off on one side fix it reinstalled the slide into the machine but now its not dropping coins. Help!!??

    Thanks for this video. I recently bought an old fortune telling vending machine (from the 1960's?) that has an even simpler mechanism, but is essentially the same. I am trying to figure out how the coin slider works, as it looks as if one of the card pushers is bent up a bit. I don't have any old fortune telling cards and this came with no instructions, so this is all new to me. This video helped me figure out where to start looking. "Coin slider" is the term I think I appreciate most.
