It really depends on the coin mech in the machine, what kind do you have, (coinco, vendo, national rejector's,etc.110 volt, or 24 volt...)???
Also there's usally a wiring diagram on the inside of the door that tells the electrical pin-connections of the coin mech, but basically you want to wire across the same pins as the coin switch with a small momentary push button switch, that you hide some where on the machine,(the upper-right corner of the bottle opener is my favorite spot)

Here's a basic diagram, NOTE the pin out is for a 60's Vendo 56 slant-shelf ,jones connector/125volt changer  :O   YOUR's may wire differently!!! basically it fools the machine into thinking you gave it a coin, (this can be wired in parallel with the coin mech so it still accepts coins too.)

I recently purchased a ChoiceVend Pepsi machine that is either a CVC-168 or a CVC-224, I'm not sure.  It's a five-button machine with a narrow logo on top.  The schematic on the inside says it's a 5-Flavor Primeline II machine.  The coin mechanism on the inside is a Coinco S75-9800B.

It does a great job of keeping the cans cold, but I can't seem to get it to vend, so it appears that I've got the exact same problem that you do.   Any suggestions, or if you are able to determine a solution, please post it here.  Thanks!

In either case, are the vend motors functioning...?
Perhaps the vend relay is burnt out...?

Acquiring a good schematic diagram would be an excellent acquisition!!! I have no resources to suggest to get a Choice Vend manual...

I have a cvc-168 with a fairly good looking schematic. If I can get it off I will try to scan it and email it to anyone who wants it.

Can I wire the switch up without the coin mech? The machine I have had the mech removed. I would like to be able to wire the switch up to vend without having to put a new mech in the machine. Is there any way to find out what mech was in this thing?

Thanks
