Title: Escrow
Post by: Skeleton Man on July 18, 2006, 11:19:47 pm
Hi guys,

What is the difference between escrow until select and escrow until vend ? 95% of machines vend as soon as you press a selection button, so this doesn't make much sense to me..

I have a Coinco 9360-S changer and I can select either of the above modes with a dip switch.

The changer works great apart from a few small oddities:

1) Change is not always given, regardless of price (still vends tho).
2) The dime tube never gets emptied. Change is always in nickels.
3) Quarters never go into the change tube. It has an option to divert them to cash when the tube is half or completely full, but either option should send at least some to the tube.

All of the inventory switches work, and quarters are accepted just fine - just doesn't always spit out my change.

Next step will be programming $1 and $2 coins (CDN), that should be fun.

btw, is there such a thing as a Canadian only mech ? (ie. doesn't accept US coins)
