Feeding a coin comparitor

I have been using a coin comparitor that I purchased on fleabay. I feed the coins in manually and can sort a roll in less than one minute.
I am looking for a Ryedale type of sorter/feeder to replace the manual work. My volume does not justify purchasing a Ryedale unit.
What is the brand/model used on the Ryedale?
Does anyone have another method to feed coins into a coin comparitor?

I use a bucket to load my coin compariter....for efficiency. The feeder on the Ryedale is proprietary..."Andyplasty"

Incorporate an inexpensive Wal-Mart coin sorter and use it to quickly feed the coins in one at a time mechanically.

But how long would something such as that work for until it breaks down?

Some kid on youtube shows a feeder he built from a VCR motor connected to a CD with holes drilled in it. Check out this industrial-strength version that Economist shows off right here on realcent: viewtopic.php?f=21&t=3001
