Title: Setting my machine to "free"
Post by: Bob K on May 11, 2002, 02:21:26 pm
Hi all,
How would I go about altering my square Vendo H90 to not require money?  I'd like to be able to just pull bottles out and not need to put money in.  Much more convenient for backyard parties.
I had asked in another forum here how to adjust the coin mechanism to the lowest denomination possible, but maybe this would be easier?
Thanks,
Bob

Bob,

Do you know the model of the coin mech?
I do recall someone posting this solution once before; however, adding a free button may be easier and less aggravation...  Depending on where the button is to be mounted...
I briefly looked for the post to no avail ???

I'm not sure if this will work because these vending mechs can get a little complicated, but try tie-strapping the solenoid arm back and keeping the latch from locking so you can vend a soda and possibly continue to vend free bottles. The latch is spring loaded so it may attempt to reset after each vend. Removing the latch and spring may be the best bet...

If you need a diagram, let me know...  I have a diagram from a V90 which should be similar
