I've searched for my answer but can't find it anywhere 
I'd like to set this up for free vend all the time. Is it possible without adding an additional switch?
Thanks
Bill

Well it's a good news/bad news kind of an answer...
The good news is that the MARS 6800/6XXX series can be programed to accept U.S./Canadian coins including the
Susan-Be-Ugly or the new Golden Dollar coin dollar and/or a token, (in use with Dollar coin acceptance or in lieu of a Dollar coin(s)). I've just gone through a bunch for MoonDawg,
The bad news is , no I see no way to program it for a built-in "Free-play", so you're either going to have to use it as a coinmech/changer ( setting the vend-price to whatever you desire) or use the external "free-play" switch with or without the coinmech. in place.
On the 6800 series standard 8-pin "Jones" connector, the pin-out is the same as for the Coinco mechs' putting the momenary switch between pins #1 & #3 the vending price on a 6800 series can be set from 5-cents to $10.00

Thanks JohnieG 
I had guessed that would be the case and made a switch for it last night. It works goood and dispenses drinks now.

6800 series can be set to vend at .05 to $10.00 ? 
What would sell at $10.00? Little bottles of champagne?
