Dealing with quarters

[petey64]

I have just assumed a Vendo-90 and i have cleaned out the slug rejector, coin changer and it is working somewhat, nickels and dimes-no problem but when I use quarters they either go right through or the machines acts as if it is a nickel that is the first problem.  The second problem is I would like to change the price of the vend from 15 cents to a quarter.

What manufacture coin mech do you have? and which model No.? maybe a few pictures....there are many different types used in Vendo's  '>

OK , Now we're getting somewhere, so to me it kinda looks like either early version of a 9800/conversion series, (S75-9800) or a 5-price 9800 series (FP 9800) is the slug-rejector metal, or Plastic? ( there may be a label on the side of the unit, or possibly the back) Also, you said the quarters drop right through the unit & sometimes they are counted as nickels, when the drop straight through the 'mech. do they drop into the coinbox, or the coin-return?

If you pull the slug rejector off the coinmech, are there any switches to be seen, or a little red drum/wheel under a plastic cover?   '>

another thing when i pull the slug rejector off there is a wheel with what looks like the price setting under a plastic cap.

Yep, it's an old five-price unit (FP9400/9800 series)
