  • On this episode, I swap out a coin mech in a Royal Merlin IV soda machine...but all does not go as planned! I also go over Tube Fill mode.

    I enjoy all of your helpful videos. How do I update an older AP 7600 snack machine so that it will take a Card reader? Will putting on an newer coin mechanism work?

    • @HappyVending
      @HappyVending  2 года назад

      The 7600 is a pretty old machine and will not support a CC reader with its original board. You would have to upgrade the board to an aftermarket board like one from InOne.

    I have a dixie 501e and I'm trying to upgrade my coin mech to a newer conlux. The machine is not recognizing the new coin mech. I tried unplugging and restarting machine. Still not working. Any suggestions appreciated. Thank you.

    How do you change the prices on your selections? I have an older coke machine. Serial no. 297748. Model no. V460. It has the 9302-GX coin reciever. Thank you.

    • @HappyVending
      @HappyVending  11 месяцев назад

      There are probably dip switches on the coin mech that you turn on to add multiples of 5 cents. For instance, if the first dip switch were the only one on, the soda would be 5 cents. If the second dip switch were the only one on, the soda would be 10 cents. If the first and second dip switches were on, the soda would be 15 cents (5 + 10). Get it?

      I do not have any quantum 700 coin mechs, so I'm not sure about the operation of them. Post your question on the vendiscuss.net message board and someone will be able to answer that question.

      You need to make sure it's a vending mech with 24volt mdb....not an amusement mech with 117 volt. The mech should have a white 6 pin power harness.

    Hello,
    Thank you for your response and I apologize for the delayed reply...this isn't my primary email.
    I have another dilemma. My AMS 39 combo(guaranteed vend)won't except coins or bills. When I start the machine the acceptor goes through the motion,but I can't get the machine to work. I had someone come out and look at it with no success...he said it could be a motherboard issue. Finding a repairman has been a chore in itself. The guy who looked at the machine is quitting the business.I haven't heard back from AMS and it's become a bit discouraging. This is the machine that could help jump start my business and it's just sitting in my garage. Thanks for any insight.
    Kindly,
    Malcolm Parker

      Do you mean it doesn't report cash sales through the credit card reader? If so, look to see if there is a eprom update available for your control board. If not, you may need to get a replacement board like an Inone board if cash reports are important to you.

I guess you could try taking it apart and see if you can determine what is keeping the buttons depressed. Even if you mess it up, those coin acceptors are fairly inexpensive now so you could always pick up a replacement.
