Large coin mech (non change giver)

[TheGarbageHunter]

Well I spent a good amount of time cleaning the large coin mech that came with the vendo 56. Placed the slug rejector in hot soapy water, but I think their was to much soap since when dry it feels tacky. The dime stil travels thru. Should I place it back in hot water to remove left over soap or is there a spray I can use?? The coin mech it self does not crank all the way down. The dime does travel all the way down into its slot but when I crank down the handl the mech stops shortly before the finger located in the same slot reaches the dime. I can tell if this finger was to reach the dime, it would force the finger to rise thus unlocking the bottom crank, allowing it to travel its complete path. I tested this by lifting the finger manually. How the  '> can I fix this?? Completly lost. Can any tell if something is, missing??  '>

Pics will be posted soon via friend.

Thanks

Hello

First put down the skunky beer & move back! The danger will pass.

Just wait there are some members who know how to work these things.

Have a good day.

Did you remove the barrier plate or was it missing? Steve at Soda Jerk Works sells them if it is missing.
Check where the back side of the nickel finger goes down in the back. There is another lever (can't think of it's name of hand) of which the nickel finger must be on the left of (as you face the mech). You can access the lever from a hole in the back. Kind of hard to explain and I don't have time this morning - gotta run. If you haven't figured it out by later today, I'll try to post a pic and describe better.

Yes I did remove the barrier plate. I did place the nickle finger behind another lever. But the mech still will not crank all the way down. Its like dime finger is not long enough to come in contact w/the dime inorder to lift the lever so that the bottom crank will become unlocked and freely move.  '>

Will it work on two nickels? What happens with coins in all the coin slots?

OK -I just went and looked at my non-change giver mech.
On mine, the spring just to the right of the blue arrow in the picture is attached to the nickel finger plate that the arrow is pointing directly at. The left side of your spring looks right - it is the right side of your spring that should be attached to the nickel finger plate. What is the right side of your spring attached to now?
