Based on this drawing couldn't I wire this to a micro switch in an older style Coinco mech that only goes to 20 cents and use the 25 cent micro switch to make contact and tell the machine to vend? essentially vending at a quarter? Thanks, Pat

Why exactly would you want to do this ? If you wanted to rig up a free switch inside a broken coin mech you'd just use the jones plug and empty shell and mount a microswitch under the coin return lever (so it credits when you hit the coin return) |

Yes, either wire the free vend switch to the terminals from behind the jones socket, or use a piggy-back harness from a DBA (where the DBA plug would go into the jones socket and the coin mech would piggy back on top of that). |

OK, here it goes. I couldn't get an answer on how to set the pricing on my Coinco AS 9400. No matter what combination I tried I just could not get it to vend. I even went so far as to write coinco, and they faxed me a manual for my changer. It was no help, it really doesn't say how to set the price and if you know how the max is 20 cents the normal is 15 cents. I don't like that. Either a dime or a quarter is what I want. So here is what I did. I took the freeplay info and made up a small wiring harness but rather than putting a momentary contact pushbutton on the end and drilling holes or mounting it to the coin return button, I put two female spade connectors on the other end of the wires. You might ask why, well this is the reason, on the back of my coinco AS 9400 is a set of micro switches one of which is tripped when a quarter goes through the slug rejector. So I plugged my freeplay harness into it using the female spade connectors. To make it work I had to remove the small springs from the quarter and nickel/dime coin return electromagnets (behind the slug rejector). Simply removing the small spring from one end allows the coin to pass normally through the slug rejector. Under normal operating of the coin mech these are energized and allow a coin to go through. If you use the free play harness and don't undo the springs your coins will pass right through to the coin return. This simple fix now allows me to purchase a pop from my machine with a quarter!

Interesting hack.. personally I would've replaced the coin mech as it was quite probably defective (if it would've vend on any price).

Skeleton man, everything worked in my coin mech as far as the adjustable cam rotating. I could cause it to rotate by tripping the wires with my fingers and get it to vend. The problem was no way to know what position to put the cams into. There is a set sequence - switch one is a Zero cam Switch two is a 15 cent stepper Switch three is a 20 cent stepper and Switch four is the Vend switch. In order to vend at the correct price all the adjustable cams need to be in a specific order (previous owner was in there messing with it, perhaps this is why I paid so little for the machine). No one seems to be able to tell me what they are and as I said the best that coin mech can do is 15 or 20 cents. This is a low budget garage project, I paid 202 dollars for this working soda machine to put cans in for my family. I couldn't see spending the money on this machine for a coin mech. So this works and does not do anything to damage the original coin mech.  '> At this time I also own a restored V 39 and a WC 52 T.

I have a Rock-ola Pepsi 5 button machine. This is my first pepsi machine. I tried the Free Play Switch on it but when i press the free vend button i stalled it make a snap sound and when a selection is pushed i get no response. I have also tried the coin mech, and the coins just drop straight through. I did plug the coin mech back in before trying. Any thoughts?

Just my two sense but I've run into connection problems with the Jones plug. I bend the prongs out a little to get a better tighter fit and it has worked every time. Ive gotten new coin mechs and thought they didn't work until I did this. Just a thought  |
