thats my thoughts also - while I dont have kids ( YET ) I dont want moochers mooching my soda's ! '<img'>

How do I test my mech, now I know the vend mech and relay etc are all working.. I think it is just the mech and hopper..
Is there like a common way to check and calibrate these old coin mechs ?

another question that just came to mind is that the wiring pins ( diagrams ) seem to be the same for all machines.. is this true ?

Could I milk a mech from a new machine and put it on my old machine ?
( mech and hopper )

Yes, another mech will work if it's rated for the same working voltage, ( I assume you're 115-120 Volts @ 50/60 cycles down under?) the main male plug ( refered to as a "jones" plug) on "most" 115VAC mechs are the same, when all else fails read the label instructions on the mech.  '<img'>
A FEW earlier mech's where low voltage & had a standard line voltage jone plug, so you can picture what happened next ':O'
so do read the label on the unit before you slap one in.
In general.  most electric mech's (single price)from the 60's thru the 70's/80's in "square-corner" machines were still 115VAC, then they started using lower voltage units. hope it helps & post a picture of that puppy we Luv pictures!...JohnieG   ':cool:'

there's a pic of my machine up on the front page of my site..

www.myarcadegames.com

I've got a couple of internal pics I will have to put up.. I am trying to rebuild the inside near the coin door.. any help is appreciated.. ( Photo's of your machine internals is a huge help.. )

My machine is 115v - but down here we run 220/240vac - but it has a stepdown transformer inside.. obviously a north american machine converted to local conditions..
