CCS-64 solenoid

I'm having a problem with the vending solenoid staying energized (pulled in) for 10-30 seconds after coins are inserted. Anyone experience this before? Thanks T

It's probably just a little sticky, ( the solenoid's plunger is sticking in the core) , or it could be a stuck vending relay on the coinmechs control  circuit board, unplug the wires from the coils terminals & use a neon-light type of voltage detector, when you insert the vending price/coins, it should flash for about 1/2 to 1 second, if it stays lite any longer then it's the coinmech, if it doesn't ( stay lite for more than 1/2-1 second) then it's probably sticking
