It looks like this one's out of a multi-drink vendor? what machine/model is it in?  The plastic wiper with the brass-fingers looks like it sweeps across the circut board probably determined by which drink selection is picked ( just a guess) & picks a price setting determined by the wire/connectors that are plugged into their apropriate slot "c" would mean "Common" for that price range, if this mech gives change, then the inventory wire would kick out all the nickels in the tube when connected.

Ah! V90A then, well it should be a single price coin mech. I wish I had more info in my archives on the Variprice-mech.'s but sadly I don't, in general most coin/price setting switches,
(in your case jumpers perform the same function) are set to add the price Accumulativly ie (in-english  :p ) if you want say the price to be 35-cents then you'd set the 20, 10, & 5-cent switches to the "on" postion, if you set the price to 10-cents, then only the 10-cent switch would be "on", so maybe if you just jumper the slots from the "c" postions to the "10"
postion(s), might do it. you won't blow anything up (Theoretically anyway!   :p ) give it a try. wish I had more info for you, unless somebody else can chip in with more info...
the only Variprice I had I replaced with a Coinco 9800 series,
(which would plug right in to replace the variprice)...hope this helps...JohnieG
PS what price is it set to now? that might give a clue to how to set the jumpers. just a thought.

THANKS JOHNIEG, I DON'T HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT IT IS SET AT--I WAS HOPING YOU COULD HAVE TOLD ME BY THE PICS I SENT. I WILL MESS WITH IT AND SEE WHAT I COME UP WITH AND LET YOU KNOW HOW I COME OUT.  BOB

drop in nickels one at a time until it vends at this point,
as I said sadly I don't have a reference sheet on this mech. :(
