Black is the hot wire white is neautral purple 5 I found goes to the selection button blue 15 goes down to the sold out relays Brown 10 goes to the exact change light this leaves where does the yellow wire lead ? Are the selection buttons known as the vend relays. Talked to coinco and they gave me this set up for the jones plug pin 1 Hot pin 2 Neautral pin 3 Credit Pulse Pin 4 not used pin 5 Use exact Change Pin 6 Hot engage Pin 7 Vend Relay Pin 8 Not used Can anyone help me out here?

Thanks Title: Re: choice vend Jones plug pins Post by: choice120 on December 07, 2008, 09:15:48 pm Got it finally figured out here is how the pins go into the female prtion of jones plug. I tested with free vend switch and she vended fine. Here is the pin set up for the choice vend 120.
Pin 1 = Blue wires Pin 2 = Black wire Pin 3 = Yellow wire Pin 4 = NA Pin 5 = Brown Wire Pin 6 = White wire Pin 7 = Purple Wire Pin 8 = NA If the free vend works fine then my coin mech must be bad correct?

More than likely if you can get it to freevend using the normal configuration, your coin mech is probably bad.
Title: Re: choice vend Jones plug pins Post by: choice120 on December 10, 2008, 09:54:22 am was the coin mech blew that 8amp fuse on logic board. Hooked up new coin mech and she wasnt giving change and was vending at the wrong price. sprayed the spare logic board with contact cleaner and it works like a charm. Can I fix that fuse on the logic board by soldering a wire in place. Also thinking of selling the Choice vend now that all works. I would like to put the money toward an older machine or even a bottle dispensing v-56. What do you think I could get for the 120 or should I part it out. Hate to prt out a fully working machine.

What kind of coin mech do you have? If it's a Coinco S75-9800A/B (or any coin mech for that matter) soldering a solid peice of wire in place of the P.C. Fuse Link is asking for trouble. That fuse link was put there to protect a vital circuit (the vend relay contacts and the circuit board) in the coin mech. By soldering a solid peice of wire in place you bypass that. You take one overvoltage and POW!!! A fully smoked coin mech. I would replace the fuse a form, fit and function replacement. If it's a regular glass fuse that would be very easy to replace. If it's a Fuseable Link, you can buy fuseable link wire for pretty cheap online. Also, remember that coin mechs aren't cheap!!!! Replacements online are going for a premium these days. |
