Right now it only has tubes stacked on top of each other that are for nickles.
Do I need a whole new unit to have the dime tubes?

Yeah basically, yours is the early model that only gives change in nickels (same as a Coinco 9800 series) if you need dimes in your change, then I'd go with a later model Coinco 9400 series(nickel/dime change), or a three-tube Coinco 9300 series or equivalent MARS coinmech. just make sure it has the 8*-pin "Jones" plug & is rated for 115 volt service,

*= PS the round pin in the Jones plug doesn't count although some people would call it a 9-pin plug (they are wrong) it's just an index pin so you cant plug the thing into the machine backwards.

Bump...I had to reload the diagram due to the servers being monkeyed with ( hacked), so I made some improvements....carry on then.

I've redrawn the diagram to show the basic components...

My Machine seems to be wired Differently.  There is nothing connected to pin one. 

I don't know maybe it is because my machine is newer.  I have A Cornelius Type 120

Big bump but was knew someone here could give me an answer. Thanks to Kbareit (Ken) I now have a functioning vend motor and the last (hopefully) step to making this machine fully functional again, is to have it free vend. I have a Westy 102 and while the Jones plug adapter method seems like it should work, I was wondering if I could simply connect a plunger switch with two spade connectors and then connect that to the carrier switch? The wiring diagram photo was bigger than 100KB or I would have posted it.

The only reason I ask is because, if it worked, I could then mount the switch to the inside of the cabinet and use the hole I drilled for the crank vend assembly. I figure this would look better than having the switch up near the Jones socket and having a random hole in the bottom of the machine!

You may be shocked to learn ( literally the hard way) that the entire vending control circuit on a 'Westy

"select-a-matic" (models 60, 78, 102...etc)  is line voltage (120 volts) beware  wow

Why would you even want to mount a switch & drill a hole down by the vending motor? it would look retarded. (politically incorrect '60's slang) use the jones connector & save yourself the trouble of hacking up the wiring harness any further.

PS ..it's name is a Momentary push button or contact switch, not a plunger switch  (a plunger switch/dynamo is used to set off an explosive charge)  tounge

Wow, 120 volts was way more than I was thinking, good thing I didn't mess around with it too much.

Should have clarified about the hole. The hole is already there from an attempt to make a crank vend mechanism a while ago. This was after I had researched replacement motors over the web and even ran out of luck on this site. While it obviously looks dumb now (and I do plan on filling it later), the thought process at the time was that a crank vend was my best bet. That's why I figured I could try and save face and use the hole.

I had a feeling it wasn't the proper name but to be fair, I did do a Google search for plunger switch and that's what came up. Regardless, I'll use the proper name(s) now lol

Your doing good really, I guess you could make use of the existing hole. but I'd personally use an appropriate size electrical type push-in hole plug & paint it as close to "Coke" red as possible via ye olde rattle can spray & mount the a mini size freeplay switch  inside the coin return chute opening ( Radio shack has some 120 volt rated momentary push buttons that work well, just make sure to get a "normally-open" switch)  the hole plug you can pick up at a big box store like Home depot or Lowes, ACE, etc. at least the vend motors working now!

I have a feeling that's what I'll do. I have leftover red from when the machine was sprayed so matching the color shouldn't be too difficult I would think. That's where I was planning on mounting it as well. Kind of funny when you think about it... press down a lever to get your money back but this time, get the drink instead

Thanks Ken. Hopefully I'll be able to figure it out by then but if not, I'll try and give you a heads up before the 20th
