Fun-Tronics has the manual. Part #12 for $19.00.  (301) 371-5246.

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 Quote 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.

Gonna have to order that manual!!

No idea where that sneaky little rack lock spring is!

At the bottom of the vending rack, is the electric solenoid to pull in the release so the rack can vend a product.
To follow up on what dr. galaga has mentioned... You might find someone may have altered the vending release mechanism to allow free vending.

maybe a little good news....

I removed the cover over the solenoid and hey hey, the cables have been unplugged from it...

the question....

No idea which side of the solenoid to hook the cables back to.

another question...

Is operation of the coin mech dependant on the solenoid being hooked up? should the coin mech still function properly without the solenoid being hooked up?

as always, many thanks for your advice!

oh, ordered my manual today from fun-tronics... very nice and easy guy to deal with!!
