Title: Cav 72 Coin Mech - Need Some Help
Post by: Ezra on February 06, 2014, 06:42:17 pm
1) How do I convert it to just charge a dime per bottle, right now it is 25cents?

2) The switch marked "A" just hums when I pull up on the switch.  What is this switch supposed to do?

This hasn't been used in probably 20 years minimum.

Thank You for your advice!

oops just realized this should be in the coin mech section of forum. :darn:

Here's the instructions on how to set the DIP switches for 10c: http://soda-machines.com/discussions/index.php/topic,1138.0.html

The switch you are engaging is the inventory switch, it should eject all the nickels (one by one) that are in the hopper tubes, but a lot of times that area gets gummed up, plastic pieces break, etc.

Forget it I'm leaving it at 25 cents!

After 50 years, the original grease was now a thick paste preventing gears from turning. All cleaned off with fresh white lithium grease and she now spits out nickels just fine !

This hasn't been used in probably 20 years minimum.

Ok, I'll make the 10c a little easier: from left to right, down, up, down, down.
