Well, finally after a couple of years of searching I found the perfect machine to bring home and cuddle with.

Ummm, did I say that out loud?

Actually what I meant to say was I finally found a machine I can afford that is in mechanical working order!!

Cavalier css-141g

It is set to vend free full time!! I cannot afford to feed 3 kids FREE BOTTLED COKE!! I'm not made of money you know!

My question you might ask?

I want to set it back to where the kids have to pay their own way!! I do however like the schematic of the free play switch and will incorporate that into my master plan.....

First things first though, Can someone help me out with this?
I have looked all over the coin mech and cannot find any markings that tell me make on the mech. I suspect however that the relay switches is where i'll have to look to solve this mystery!

Thanks for your help, and for the great site!!

hello welcome Post a Pic cause without it we all are sunk also people have made a free vend by using a keyed switch IE you have the Key your kids dont it only turned to " free vend" when you stick the key in and turn it. If ya cant do bottled coke heres a cheap idea Bottled kool-aid mix it up bottle it and then presto you have 1 gallon of liquid that costs 1 packed( 15cents) and 1 cup of sugar( ahhhhh what maybe 50 cents? and water semi free. your wallett full priceless '<img'>

not a problem,  use your thumbs on the little latches on the upper right & left corners gently push up & tip the coin acceptor/slug rejector forward & tip it up & out, now you'll see the price setting switches!  here's a guide diagram to help you out..

Yeah..220,221 whatever it takes.
Remember, all it needs is a shot of Freon!

Good news, Bad news....

I guess such is life with an old machine '<img'>

Schematic is wonderful, thanks....

bad news:

It was already set to a .10 vend, and is still vending free? I moved the switches to set to .25 vend and it still vends free.

Any other suggestions greatly appreciated!

Sad but true, the coinmechs logic board is bad,
so that leaves you with two possibility's, one replace the coinmech. or two, repair/replace the circut board, ( from a doner coinmech) usually, it's a bad Zener diode ( voltage regulator) on the circut board, however this is dependent on how handy you are with a soldering iron.

So lets assume I threw my soldering iron away when I finally retired the G.I. Joes.....

Could you direct me to a replacement board?

Another possibility is that someone did something to the vending mechanism.  I was looking at a Cavalier a few weeks ago on ebay and the person auctioning it off said

and the locking rack has been disabled so coins are not needed. The rack lock can be enabled by hooking a spring back up.

You may want to also look at the rack lock to see if the spring is there.

Thanks, I'll check that out.

I've also been scouring the web for a manual, No luck as of yet...

That would be a plus too if anyone has a source.

Again, i am greatly appreciative of all the help you all have offered
