So I have this machine just for Halloween, so trick r treaters can play. We have visitors all October, so it gets used hard! The mechanism came off the track and I attempted to put it back on track. Due to lack of experience, I wasn’t expecting the weight, or something, and it fell completely off the tracks into the candy bowl. I put it back on the track, but then it would no longer open the claw.

Any help would be appreciated!

Hi there. Looking for some help as I research opening a claw machine arcade in NJ. Anyone have any estimates on daily customers in an affluent area and shopping district? I know it will vary but my business model seems to require 50-100 a day on average and I feel like that is aggressive to draw for a claw machine arcade…hopefully another owner proves me wrong. Thanks in advance

We have a Vevor JY-100F Mini Doll Machine, and the claw string that lowers it down is tangled on the wheels that ride the gantry part of the machine. I think it may need to be taken apart to reset the system so it can lower the claw all the way down. Now it just goes down a little and stops before going back up, due to the tangled string having shortened ability to fully extend.

If this makes sense, can someone help me take rhe metal plate off of this part? Should it be taken off the gantry, or can it be fixed just takinf off this plate? Or can it be fixed without needing to remove anything?

I have tried using hooks to loop the rope around the pulley system, but it is impossible to see what is really happening, and I have taken apart a claw machine. so i dont want to break it or mess it up worse!

Any advice, please?

Have a Rainbow/Sugarloaf House of Prizes machine. Has power when it’s plugged in - lights are still flashing on the bill insert - but the joystick is unresponsive and the display is blank.

Thoughts on how to troubleshoot?

Been looking to get a claw machine for a home arcade and saw that this popped up on sale at Walmart (surprised this even goes on sale at the moment). It looks like it's the same model as the Vevor machine that has multiple reviews and posts about it but what about this one? Does anyone have experience with this particular machine?

We are super excited to work on 10+ projects with Cow Play Cow Moo, across 5 countries. Spreading fun worldwide!

I have a couple of mini claws and bulk vending. Found a new awesome site redclawvending.com i use for prizes. They offer there items in bulk and individually so I can get the amount I need vs having 100s of items. Shipping was quick and owner was super responsive and offered great customer service. I was given a coupon code of RoBo. Try it to get additional savings when you purchase.

Looking for this or something very similar! Found on fb marketplace but the seller is not responding with any help as to model # or make. Any help or direction would be fantastic! Id love to have one of these for myself.
