TurboNova Posted December 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 I bought a machine here this morning and I did the Free Vend Mod so it requires no change. It gets cold but cant get it to vend any of the selections. I think it may be the vending relay. I will take some pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TurboNova Posted December 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 Yeah who knows whats up with this one, I am thinking about getting a Free-vend relay. The problem initially was that after stocking the unit when I got it and inserted the .60 it did not vend. The sold out light was out on the front, so it recognizes it being stocked and it seemed like the vend relay would not energize showing the credit to allow the selection to be processed to the vend motors. I have gone over and over the diagram but I dont know there really is alot going on in one of these units. I am leaning more towards the relay. It could really only be the coin mechanism, vend relay or wiring. The least possibility could be the motor, but since there are 8 of them I dont think that could be it The guy I bought this from bought 8 units from a guy who retired a route and he got a good deal so he had all of them in the garage so he knew nothing about them other then they lit up and got cold, so I figured it was ok. And it may just be a simple adjustment or common thing I just dont know. Thnks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

russian rocket Posted December 23, 2009 Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 thats the same machine thats in one of my stores, looking at the second pic, pop off the center piece that covers the electronics. you will see wheels with metal tabs, the tabs slide into the notches on the wheels, to see if the motors are working just push down on one of the metal tabs and the thing should start spinning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboNova Posted December 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 hmm not sure what you are talking about.... are you saying removed the large metal shroud where the motors are housed? And there should be a tab you can depress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

russian rocket Posted December 23, 2009 Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 here is a crappy pic of what it should look like http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b331/kliped/car/coke.jpg push down the on tab that is in the recessed area, now dont get scared, if everything is working, its going to make a loud buzzing noise and the wheel will start turning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractor Posted December 23, 2009 Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 I work on copy machine vending units and they are usually made by the same companies. It could easily be the coin unit. Remove the unit and clean it very good. I can come up with more ideas, but usually its a cleaning problem. Also if you get the manufacture off some of the units and boards inside I could probably find you manuals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboNova Posted December 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2009 Well thanks guys so far I have tested the switch on each motor and when depressed each motor cycles and will vend a can no problem. I tried to do the "free mod" and jump the wires with a toggle switch at the jones connector so that the relay for the vend cycle energizes and allows a selection to be made and either I did it wrong or the relay is the culprit here. It seems like the 2 most common things I here are either a dirty/bad coin mech. or the vend relay is shit. I am thinking that the relay is bad but I found a company that makes a Free vend relay so there is no mods needed. It just bypasses the jones connector all together and allows you to vend with out inserting money. We will see when it arrives. If anyone things of something else to check or another repair please shout it out Thanks Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
