Title: Vendo 90 Vend Solenoid Post by: SIGNGUY on December 12, 2014, 12:18:29 pm I'm restoring a Vendo 90 for a customer and I think the Vendo Solenoid is bad? or not working?
not sure if it's the connection, the Coin mech? or what. I have a new coin mech coming to try, but does anyone have an extra Solenoid? Thanks John Title: Re: Vendo 90 Vend Solenoid Post by: MoonDawg on December 12, 2014, 12:50:58 pm I have a bunch of them. Try sending 110 volts to it for 1 second, that tells you if it is good. They often just need a drop of oil.

it moves freely but no signal to it? maybe it's the coin mech? I ordered a new one from Funtronics,, so we'll see if that triggers it.. if not I may reach out to you!

I take it with me when I buy a machine to do a quick check on the vending if the coin mech happens to not be working. Nice little tool to have around the shop when working on a machine too, and pretty quick to put together.

Just read your response on this subject - You mention a wiring harness you use to check the vend cycle when the Coinco unit is inoperable. Could you post a wiring diagram of this harness?

I just cut the jones plug cord from a dead coin mech and wire a momentary switch between the #1 & #3 wires, very simple |
