Title: Free beer
Post by: on November 09, 2002, 08:48:03 pm

Hello - I was hoping someone could help me. I recently bought a Vendo VFA-56c-b I was wondering if you could tell me how to make it work without money. I was also wondering what the X S R dial did that is located right next to the coin amount dial. Are there manuals available for this machine? I'm new can you tell?

Thanks,
Phil Kowalski

Well you can mechanically wire the vend soleiniod's "T" bar in the up postion, or you can use the following diagram to wire a free-play switch for the machine,(its also handy for testing
machines!) if you hide it well it'll allow you to get a free soda while keeping the kids & neighbors from drinking you to the poor house

Hope it helps...JohnieG

Hi Folks - I solved my own problem but wanted to pass the word on...I was able to find the little lever at the bottom of mechanical locking mechanism and just by tying it back....FREE BEER!

Thank you for your responses.
