Hi,
I've been searching the forum, and see it's recommended to connect to the jones plug for the free play with a 9800A.

Just want to see how/where you connect the wires too, in a real pic? 

Thanks.

Anyone?

Are you just pushing the switch wires into the harness,and then pushing the jones connector on?

Or are you tapping in someone else?

      I think they just push the connectors into the harness, and do
away with the entire Jones plug and coin mech.

Here's my free-vend switch I used to test the gate in my machine.  If you're wanting to use a jones plug and aren't sure which wires go where, your trusty mult-meter will be your answer.  Just ohm them out man.  biggrin

Witchboard's photo depicts an excellent view of this concept; however, for everyday use, you can utilize an encased two-wire cord routed to a momentary switch mounted somewhere accessible for operation.

      Also, by cutting the jones plug off a useless coin mech, and extending the wires and adding a momentary switch allows testing of vend columns with the door wide open.
I use this tester on every machine I get, bypassing the coin mech saves a lot of time.

Thanks,
What I want to do tho, is keep the coin mech but hide a free vend switch too.

I don't see how to do this and keep the coin mech too.

Not sure what you mean by the wires on the underside of the plug?

I guess i should take a pic of mine, to show what I have.

I think what Jim is referring to is the wires leading to the Jones plug socket.

Here is how my plug is,


The only thing I can think of is, trace the wires into the mech itself and tap into them there?

Also, I was looking at a thread, and it had a diagram of the plug.  But I noticed that it's 1 and 2 , and 7 and 8 pins were opposite of mine?   Is that OK?

Unplug the Jones Plug, then remove the glavanized box that houses the Jones Plug Socket. Once removed or just remove the screws holding it to the cabinet door, then you can access the wires from insode this box...

OK,
Got it all wired up, I push the button and it vends a pop.
I put in a nickel (It's set to .05) and it vends a pop.

But now get this,
I put in a dime, and it vends a pop and gives back 2 nickels!!

argh!!
I get so close every time I mess with it.

Any ideas?

Just tried it again with a quarter, and it now shoots back 5 nickels.

Any ideas what I did wrong?

I know it's set to .05 because it vends on 1 nickel?

Hope he can help, this thing is driving me crazy.
Every time I think I have it all setup and working the way I want it.  I find something else odd, about it (lol)

Right now it's a change machine  biggrin
