I have an old Cornelius pepsi machine to restore. I have it set for 5 cents. when i drop in money it returns the change. It has been tested and is a working coin mechanism. any suggestions? All other mechanism's work and when coin mechanism is by-passed, pop does drop.

I assume this is an upright machine with an electronic changer and not a Corneluis slider? do you mean it gives you back change for your nickle? or that it returns your nickle to you? and then it vends?

if the mech has been tested and is good then unplug the mech's jones plug & check for 115 Volt AC @ pin #6 to ground,this is the C.R.E.M. control line input ( coin return electro-magnet) if they aren't getting power from the female socket pin#6, then the mech will reject all coins. (I'm assuming it's a Coinco 7800 series mech)

Yea that would do it! just to be sure double check the voltage reading between pins 2 & 6 (6 will be the hot one )
if its still low then you've got something dropping the voltage to pin #6 probably a dirty connector in the door harness or a corroded wire.

I checked the wire at pin #6 and it is only about 3" long. It goes to what i would call a rely switch. I checked the voltage there and it is the same. Is it possible the switch needs to be replaced?

Hmmm I'll need more info, so is this relay switch attached to the housing that holds the plug? can you post a picture of this switch? if your socket were wired the opposite of the diagram that would put you on pin # 5 instead, which goes to the "correct change only" lamp, (which in turn may be controlled by a relay on some models), how old is this machine? 60's or 70's? and what is the model/make of your coinmech?

It sounds like it's similar to a late 50's Vendo 80 or 144 where the jones plug socket is right on top of the vend relay...
Maybe he could momentarily jump a wire between #1 and #3 to see if the machine will vend...
As far as the voltage on #6 only being 52 volts, thats strange...
What model Cornelius is this?
