http://soda-machines.com/component/option,com_smf/Itemid,29/topic,871.0/ You need to go to radio shack or another electrical store and buy a momentary on pushbutton switch and some wire and then follow the directions from the link above. You need to unplug the coin mechanism and wire the switch to the plug that the coin mech plugged into. If you have any questions please post them. Title: Re: vendo model vf192 free vend. Post by: kdogg2530 on March 24, 2008, 11:14:18 pm i followed the directions and it didn't work. so i opened up the box that holds the plug and tried it through the back. i touched the #1 wire to one of the wires that sits below the coin plug and it sparked then the louder motor stopped. the refrigerator motor sounds like its still running. that wire was attached to the back of the #1 wire so it should of worked.... now what should i do???

Remember the pin count goes 1-3-5-7 on the left side of the socket (looking down from the top into the female socket) & 2-4-6-8 on the right side. Title: Re: vendo model vf192 free vend.

UNPLUG the machine before doing electrical work! |
