Title: Cavalier 72 reset
Post by: Rick_T88 on December 08, 2018, 08:00:33 pm
I put my dime in my Cavalier 72.  The red Have a Coke lit up and I heard the normal click, but the mechanical solenoid did not release to allow the bottles to come out.  Not sure how to reset it.  I put in another dime but it falls to the coin return.  I've unplugged it from the wall and the plug going into the coin mechanism.  No luck.  Any ideas?  Thanks.

remove the cover plate at the bottom of the stack & manually push/pull the solenoids "T" bar *& see if it will release a bottle.

I unplugged it again.  Removed the coin mechanism, and thoroughly inspected it for coins.  Not sure how, but 4 dimes and 1 nickel came out.  I've had the machine for 3 years now and have never used nickels.  Put it back together and it worked.
