Title: Vari price 50 - Help for a newbie Post by: thirsty_me on July 30, 2010, 01:26:07 pm Hi all,
I just got my first machine and am trying to set it up. I know very little about these machines, I'm more of a pinball guy. It has a VP-50 mech. and is set at 50 cents, exact change, quarters only. Is there a way to change it to accept nickels and dimes as well. Can I set it to make change? Currently the top right crem is energized, should I bend the pins from the other crems? Thanks, Wayne waybro@aol.com Title: Re: Vari price 50 - Help for a newbie Post by: 90grad on July 30, 2010, 05:28:27 pm If you go to the downloads section (on the main page), I think there is an instruction book in there for this mech.
Also, WELCOME to the board! Title: Re: Vari price 50 - Help for a newbie Post by: mznb1u on July 30, 2010, 10:42:49 pm Welcome to the site. The manual you are looking for is in the Download section.

Is the VP-50 capable of making change? -Wayne Title: Re: Vari price 50 - Help for a newbie Post by: loman4ec on July 31, 2010, 12:39:08 pm One common problem is the nickel tubes need to be at least half full in both.

I have coins in both the dime and nickel tubes, but not half full....I'll try it and see what happens. I'll keep you posted...... Title: Re: Vari price 50 - Help for a newbie Post by: collecture on July 31, 2010, 01:54:04 pm Hi Wayne,
Welcome to the board! Wayne got my email off the web somewhere and had been emailing me about his first machine. I suggested he join SMC for Q&A's. He's got a ST56! You need to post pics of the machine Wayne! Everybody likes pictures here and everybody likes to help, so post and ask away.

I had to call the site administrator to gain access. All is well now. I have a HA56, Will get pics eventually (It needs some work). I can put up some "before" pics. I noticed on the coin mech that someone wrote 1/4's only. and the coin acceptor accepts quarters but nickels and dimes pass through, even though the acceptor has pathways for nickels and dimes. If I drop 50 cents in nickels or dimes or any combination of coins other than quarters, the machine won't vend. -Wayne Title: Re: Vari price 50 - Help for a newbie Post by: JerryG on July 31, 2022, 04:23:49 pm Hi everyone.
