Title: Vendo Coinmech
Post by: Ken R on April 14, 2021, 11:23:00 am
Hi All,
   I have a Vendo coinmech wanted to ask the experts about. When the slugs rejected is removed there are two relays that sit behind it. Each has a couple of wires that apparently integrate in back of the mech. One of these relays has the wires completely broken off. Was wondering anyone happen s to have any pics they might could send or post that shows these wires so I can reproduce correctly. Greatly appreciated!!!

Best Regards,
Ken

Can you provide a photo showing the relay/wires?
Provided this is a 120v coin mech and the two wire are for the coil, I believe the two wires can be soldered without concern which one goes where...

Oh...and the wires I'm referring to are not electrical they're just wires the poke into the back of the mech to trigger or release something or other.

alrighty then... now that everyone knows what type of coinmech you're dealing with..you should get someones attention, 

The "wires" you are referring to are the wire fingers that poke through to the slug rejector & block the coins path as they drop done along the inner slots, basically when the coils ( also know as the Coin-Reject-Electromagnets, or "CREMS" for short) are energized the fingers are retracted & allow the coinmech to accept coins under specific conditions such as ... change is available in the change tubes, so it will allow the coinmech to accept Quarters, or the machine isn't sold out, or the vending gates carrier switch is "Ready-to Vend" & not waiting for a customer to pull out a bottle from a prior vend-cycle... fun stuff.

So it's important to match the correct coils to the coinmech you're dealing with... Good luck.

a down & dirty way is if you select the photo & send it as an attachment in an email to yourself, your phone should ask what size/resolution you want to send it as, pick one that smaller than the 300k limit

Does anyone happen to have any good pictures of these relays with the wire fingers on them?
