Pics of free vend switch hooked to jones plug?

Here is how my plug is,


The only thing I can think of is, trace the wires into the mech itself and tap into them there?

Also, I was looking at a thread, and it had a diagram of the plug.  But I noticed that it's 1 and 2 , and 7 and 8 pins were opposite of mine?   Is that OK?

Unplug the Jones Plug, then remove the glavanized box that houses the Jones Plug Socket. Once removed or just remove the screws holding it to the cabinet door, then you can access the wires from insode this box...

OK,
Got it all wired up, I push the button and it vends a pop.
I put in a nickel (It's set to .05) and it vends a pop.

But now get this,
I put in a dime, and it vends a pop and gives back 2 nickels!!

argh!!
I get so close every time I mess with it.

Any ideas?

Just tried it again with a quarter, and it now shoots back 5 nickels.

Any ideas what I did wrong?

I know it's set to .05 because it vends on 1 nickel?

Sounds like a trouble-shoot job for none other than our own JohnieG ! ! !

Hope he can help, this thing is driving me crazy.
Every time I think I have it all setup and working the way I want it.  I find something else odd, about it (lol)

Right now it's a change machine

Sounds like you have to pay each patron a nickel to buy the soda! j/k

anyone have any ideas to where I should be looking?

I'm just starting this process... looks like this topic has not been active for awhile. I keep seeing messages that say things like, "pushing the button makes the machine think that  a coin was inserted..." My question is, Which coin does it think was inserted? I.e., does the jumper between 1 and 3 signify a specific coin (quarter?) and other jumpers would mean other coins (nickels, dimes), or what? I will be trying this soon... just wondering...

The coin mech does all the math when you put money in. Once the proper amount is inserted, it sends a signal to  the jones plug. One pin is neutral, and one is the hot signal. By putting in the switch, you are bypassing the coin mech..
