so i have been using one of those cheap comparators (coin analyzer or something like that) anyways. it works fine but it sucks handfeeding into this bad boy. anyone know where to buy a cheap autofeed for this and or how to make one? doesnt have to be pretty just functional. and if anyones ever used this bad boy you know it needs to feed relatively slow compared to you ryedale users. i just need something to get me by till i can buy a ryedale too :D

I have a coinalyzer, and I need a hopper to! After my research I've found most feed them to quickly for our comparators. If you find one let me know! :)

I found a hand crank coin sorter for $30, got some hotwheel track and put it where the penny container should be

Pop Bottle tops work well. Cut off the top to make a funnel. Soften up the screw top area with a lighter and then squeeze it into a horizontal slit. Then feed the coins in more or less one at a time out of your hand and they'll roll right down into the funnel and down through the slit just like those coin donation funnels at the mall.

Works great for the cheapy comparator...but it only makes you want a Ryedale all the more!
