I recently picked up my old college machine from my sister. Originally received it directly from the local Pepsi man. I think it says Choice Vend CVC-223 on the side. Anyways, Pepsi doesn't just give away the coin mechs with the old machines, so I have never had one. tried the free vend diagram, but am having problems. it just keeps vending. not one can, but all until the rack is empty, or i unplug it.
any ideas?
thanks  '>

Looks like your vending relay's stuck ...or maybe your switch isn't "normally open" (N.O.) it should be a ( beware! technical talk follows  ) momentary, normally open type that is rated for 125 volts A.C. at at least 1/2 of an amp.
one way to tell is to push the button & hold it, if the machine STOPS vending youz gotta bass-ackward switch ( a normally closed type)

thanks for the info. tested the switch, again. and, again. checked it online and it shows that it is a normally open switch. must be the relay problem you mentioned. any ideas on how to test this?
thanks again.

Well, on a ChoiceVend, the once the vending cylce is started buy the coinmech/vending relay, the vending motor gearset
(located on the bottom of the stack that's malfunctioning) could have a broken/stripped gear that controls the cycle switch for that columns vending motor. if it's stuck in the "pre-load" position (which is controled by a little wire-rod that pokes out of the bottom under the columns tray area, see if this picture helps....

The correct male plug to use that plugs into the machine's changer socket is any one of these:
Cinch-Jones # P-408-CCT
Cinch-Jones # P-2408-CCT
Beau # P-5408-CCT
Molex # 38541-5408
Mouser Electronics (www.mouser.com) # 538-38541-5408
I also have the schematic wiring diagram to the WICO changer bypass testing unit, Stock # 72-4478. It's very easy to build this yourself and the switch with "credit established" LED can be installed in a project box.

Hey Ken - how is your bypass unit different from the free-vend switch?

WICO (now sadly out of business) built these Changer Bypass units as part of their vending machine division's test equipment line. I used to have one when I worked for a local longtime game and vending machine operator.
You simply unplug the existing changer, plug this unit in and push the free vend button. If everything is functioning ok in the machine, the "credit established" LED would light up and you have a free vend.

So it's a free vend switch that connects to a jones plug rather than loose spade connectors? |

Yes, that's exactly right---a simple plug n play device with a Jones plug on it.
The amusement/vending operator I used to work for had tons of Automatic Products brand cigarette machines with single price Mars TRC6800H changers in 'em. This device came in handy testing the machine.
