Any ideas where I may be able to procure one? (Or 3 or 4...lol... apparently I lose them.
)
Keep reading to hear my tale of woe from Penguin "customer service" and also you may be able to help a fella out: I purchased, and absolutely love, ARCADE COIN by Penguin. Come on, it's a quarter sized Scotch and Soda with fairly common (quarter) and intriguing (arcade token) objects....well made and reasonably priced, and for me, that's a no-brainer...It uses a bang ring. I can't find mine. I also just purchased GAME CHANGER from them. Love it. (I feel all the comments here about the shell not being "perfect" are silly. This is not Schoolcraft or Lassen...it's a WORKER, and more than sufficient. It's only $40. Carry everything loose in your pocket for a few days and all will be well.) Couple them TOGETHER? Absolute magic, pun intended. Using the CS insert from ARCADE with GAME CHANGER opens up a ton of routines. Switch shells to finish with a "bang" (pun also intended.) HOWEVER.... mine is now locked, and I didn't want to try the ol "shake it in a glass" method till I asked about procurring an actual quarter size bang ring. I emailed penguins customer service. I waited several days for a reply. The reply was: "we don't sell bang rings." Interesting, but ok. My reply email was simply asking if they knew where I could purchase one. THEIR reply? "You just need to purchase another ARCADE COIN SET ($40) I'm probably not going to do that just to score a couple dollar nylon bang ring.
After a few searches from the well-known dealers and I have been unsuccessful in my search. Any ideas, guys? Thanks! Bryn

Hi Bryn, I added to the "Workshop" section here at the MC, some things I have used to get a stuck shell or coin loose.
also included are directions on making custom bang rings from PVC pipe. Hope it helps. The easier solutions are listed first. |
