Hey all, When using the Free play switch, is it possible to have the exact change light; light up when the free play button is pressed? and then go off once a bottle is vended? MY machine says that the exact change light is connected to 1 and 5 of the Jones socket...... Just was curious.... trying to get this "Christmas present" done sooner then later...... Its only been close to 3 months late :-) Thanks a lot Adam

Anyone got any thoughts? Seems a shame to not have a perfectly good light not making an appearance anytime.  :-( tounge

Adam,

I'm not sure what model we're discussing, but if I'm understanding correctly, you wish to use the "exact change" light to illuminate only when you press your free vend switch and stay iluminated until a selection has been vended/removed...

Depending on the model this may or may not be accomplished.

hmm. depending on what model of machine, you could use the normally open side of the carrier switch to light the "correct-change" lamp ,

if it's a cavalier with a "Have a Coke" light, you could just wire it in parallel,

or if it's a vendo, (as stated above) run a wire up from the normally open side of the carrier switch at the bottom of the bottlerack, but you'd have to isolate the "correct-change" lamp from the original harness wires,

 or you could make a smal self-latching relay triggered by the "free-play" switch.  but all options involve some rewiring of the machine.

easy for me. harder for you, unless you are electrically inclined.   upside  do be carefull though, you are dealing with line voltage.

Its actually that cornelius machine I got from you Johnnie. I am Adept at electrical things, but if its too much work I will just leave it( they wont care) and I have next to no time recently. So if that Info helps you to know what It would take to do it then thats OK and if not..... I may just leave it be, Or actually maybe just having it stay on continuously would be an idea too. If that sparks an idea  Oo
