Vendo made the 56 in both square and roundtop versions. Coin operation is significantly different in each.

Collecture -
I would like to have it set up so that you still have to use the handle...but no coins are involved.

So I will take a photo of the mechanism tonight...what exactly do you need the photo of??

Thanks again.

Glen - he has a round top - I initially was answering his questions on ColaMachines.com.

Jason,
You need to have the rejector out to do this. To remove the rejector, pull the spring steel tabs that are at the top slightly out. The rejector can then be pulled out at the top. You can flip it down and remove it all the way. The rejector is just seated in the mech via four studs (two each side) and secured by the two tabs.

I have attached a picture of a mech with the rejector removed.
First, make sure the penny lockout lever is in the position shown in my pic. The penny lockout lever (attached by two screws) is located under the text box I added to the pic saying "DIME FINGER" and should be vertical. The penny lockout lever lifts the penny finger up so that pennies are not required to vend.
What you need to do for it to free vend, is somehow lift the nickel, dime or quarter finger (just one of them) up. This can be done with a strong spring. However you can do it. I would avoid damaging the mech or machine in any way as this could devaluate it some and it is a valuable machine. Average condition V56's go for $1300- $1600 or more - if yours is in nice shape, then it would be worth $2000 or more in some cases.
I hope this helps - let me know if you have any questions.
