Does anyone know how to set the dispenser to release gumballs WITHOUT using coins? (I feel pretty stupid having to buy gum from myself).

I think there is something on the bottom. I gave the one I bought to my niece and nephew. They used the coins they put in to purchase more gum balls when they ran out.

No I don't know, but I bet you can go to their website (Junior Carousel Gumball website) for directions. Good Luck.

Yes. It's a great machine. It only takes quarters. You can only get the quarters out once all the gum is gone.

You can adjust the amount that comes out. Maybe a tablespoon if opened all the way. There is slide door its not programmable. I hope this helps.

you can use manually add money. If you need to manually press "minus" when you take a few coins out

No, it is preset for single quarter transactions only unless they forgot to tell me how to make it more, but, as far as I know, I don't think the 50-cent capsules will be able to come down the shoot like candy and nuts can. I have a large variety of treats that go in there, but I have not tried anything bigger than peanuts, M&Ms;, chocolate mints, etc. Meanwhile, the single quarter transactions add up and are just as fun to collect on as I'm sure 50-cent transactions are. It won't hurt to try though. If they don't come down the shoot, then they are too big. As the saying goes, if you don't shoot, you don't score, so it would be worth giving it a shot.

I am not sure. We don't have the packaging anymore and I didn't look for that information when the gumballs arrived. Maybe the seller can help with your question?

There was a small pack of 2 or 3 wrappers for each size coin. Standard (buy a bag at Walmart or Dollar Tree) wrappers work just great. Commenting on the previous answer ~ the only jams I've had were bent coins, a half dollar, and a button that got in accidentally.

I haven't used it yet, but I love looking at it - and I sure am chewing gumballs (still stored in a ziplock bag). I know that this is not helpful in answer to you question, but I do LOVE the gumball machine.

The machine I bought will take your dime but not give a gumball. So really just a quarter. Its a great way to save for something. Not to mention the great way it looks.

You need to press (and hold) the "button" (lever) while dispensing. I love mine and they last for years!

I take the top off first, loosen a few sheets on the roll, then feed it through the dispenser. I'm on my third container! I hope this works for you.

We keep ours in a clear dispenser that is styled after a gumball machine. In fact, we empty the whole four pounds into the dispenser. It does not seal the air out by any means, and it exposes the beans to light. While in the dispenser, it takes several months for us to consume all the beans. During the course of these months, I have not noticed any change in the color, taste, or texture of the beans. I have never thought they tasted "stale." This suggests to me that they last (at least) several months. Based on my observations, I would not be surprised if they lasted over six months. Of course, individual experiences may vary due to different environments. We keep ours in a clear dispenser that is styled after a gumball machine.

Anything that is the size of a small gumball will come out each turn but keep in mind that you need a coin for it to come out. I Would Think Maybe 3 Skittles Or M&ms; Would Come Out At A time.

You turn the dial and the gumball comes out into a little tray. The top comes off to be able to refill it.

Sorry this has taken so long to get back to you. You just turn it on throw the coins in the hopper and it does it for you

You'd have to contact the manufacturer. As inexpensive as they are it's probably cheaper to just buy another gumball machine.

I am not sure why your question was directed to me, as I am also just a buyer. May I suggest you go to a craft store and look for something comparable in size, like maybe a marble, that could be glued on permanently? The turn balls on my dispenser do not come off. Hope that helps!
