Introducing myself.

Ah, that's so obvious, it's painful.    I'll get the rejector cleaned up tonight and see what I'm dealing with.  Any ideas on what I did by flipping the microswitch and start the humming?

       You have already spent too much time on that obsolete coin
mechanism. Place an order for a Coinco for $35 to $50 bucks, and
spend your time on more important issues of this machine. You will
find yourself ahead in the long run!

Welcome! Lots of help here!

I may do that in the end, but I wouldn't want to rob myself of a learning experience.  I also have more time than money at the moment.   Thanks for the suggestion though, I will keep it in mind.

if you are using this machine for home use I would do away with the coin mech all together and make a free play switch. You will soon get tired of looking for coins to get to your beverages.

I don't want it on free vend, so the kids don't empty it.

There clean inside and out repaired and set to the price you want.
  You may want to get ahold of him.

Thanks Pat.  That's good info.  I'll keep him in mind.  I'll probably give it a shot myself first.  Can't learn anything if other people do it for you.  If I jack it up beyond repair, then I'll probably take MoonDawg's advice and buy a Coinco replacement.
