Will you share how to wire the connector to the cell charger?

Come on guys…you can’t sort faster than that trickle of pennies???
Very cool. Can any comparitor do this? I think I might build one just for kicks.

To make this coin sorter: The main component the blue box on the right is called a coin comparitor. You can find this part in Ebay or searching the internet. Don’t buy one of these coin comparitors used, as most of them are junk. It’s hooked up to an old 12v power supply from an old cell phone charger. The rest is just old water and pop bottles and misc hardware from Lowes. The coin comparitor I bought had all the cables and instructions. I bought it for $20 on EBay.
I wish this was a “how to” video.
