Tom.. I do have a manual, but it only appears to be a parts manual.  Hmm.. I printed the manual the other day, and it appears that a few pages didn't print. I am looking at my pdf, and the loading is in there.. '<img'>  '<img'> I'll have a look at the parts diagram and see if I can see a spring...

Terry.. Thanks

I haven't messed with that yet.. I'm having a hard time with priorities right now. I've got soo many things close to done, and I want them all done at once... This rejector will be done one way or another by the weekend. Is a metal rejector a metal rejector? I have an electric coinco that wasn't working, but the rejector was...

Bubba,
 There's a spring on the center of the shaft that hinges the flapper door. Mine is visable by looking up into the hinge from the outside. Looks to be around 1/2" long. Designed to tention the door just like the bottle door on a VMC33.

Thanks Terry... I was looking at it tonite... I think I got it all figured out. That spring is broken, so gotta get a new one. I also tried to load the machine with plastic water bottles, but they just get stuck on themselves, and don't come out. I then tried a bunch of empty beer bottles in the machine. I've got the loading process down, and I was able to make the machine work. I did have one stack drop a few bottles on one dime though.. good thing I'm not using the machine to make money...Is there any type of adjustment on the clearances, or is this just something that happens?

I got the slug rejector working... pulled a few of the pivots off. cleaned as much as I could with the dremel and a wire wheel, graphite on the pivots and reassembled. I also added some clearance to the magnets (atleast I think thats what that screw does). I also had a major malfunction while removing the rejector.. I broke the release lever while removing it. I hope I can swap it with another one I have here....

Get it cooling and vending properly first.   If your slug rejector goes haywire during the party, be prepared with plan "B", -- -- figure out how to set your coin mech to freeplay now................

Glen,
I haven't played with it extensively, but I don't think you can set the large door mech (that is what an 88 uses - isn't it?) to free vend. It doesn't have a screw to push back the 'fingers' like the small door mech. If you know how, please divulge the secret.

I'd appreciate that info '<img'>... I can make the electric changer work free, but have no clue on the mechanical ones...

Yes you can free vend a large mech. The row of "fingers" at the top are protruding into the coin slots. If they are lifted up out of the way using a spring or some wire, the handle will operate just fine.

I guess I should have phrased my question better earlier. NRI did not incorporate a way to set the LD mechs to free vend like the SD mechs with a simple turn of the screw pushing the fingers back. It would have to be a jerry-rig of some sort. Maybe that is why some of the large door mech fingers are missing or butchered or...Huh? '<img'>
