Robcamaro Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Is it possible to accept $5's in a Dixie 276 single price machine. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CajunCandy Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Simple no. You need a multi-price machine. Along with a coin mech that will give back $1 coins. Or a reclycer that will give back $ bills. Credit Card reader is possible with a multi-price machine, you just have to have enough people to warrant the extra expense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allen watson Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 I have a $5 bill val. in a single price machine. The problem with it is that if four in a row are put in (5's), the changer is pretty much empty. Hasn't happened yet, but it will I'm sure.

AZVendor Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 It is possible to use 5's in a single price machine as long as the validator and coin mech combination you use is compatible with 5's. Your real restriction is that you will only have a 3 tube mech with 1 quarter tube so if you get lots of 5's you may run low on change. It's not likely to happen but it is possible. What validator and coin mech are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANDERSONVENDING Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 I just put a Coinco 4 tube changer that is a Quantum Pro , it has wires for mdb and single price plugs along with a Mag 50 bill validator and haven't had a problem with it yet.

Robcamaro Posted April 19, 2014 Author Share Posted April 19, 2014 It has a mars validator and I believe a coinco mech. I have to check tomorrow. Is it just a matter of flipping the five dollar dip switch on? Does 7 and 8 switch have to be any certain way? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngryChris Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 I think It's 3 and 8 but I would need to be looking at one to be sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walta Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 John I have never seen a coin mech with a single price plug and a MDB plug on the same mech. If you do have one please post a photo of it. By the time 4 tube mechs came out most single price machines were out of production. On paper there are signal price coin mechs with 4 tubes. In the real world there are very rare as the people that bought the low cost vending machine did not choose to install the most expensive possible coin mech. To take a 5 with a single price you need the top of the line single price mech. Mars 6800AH or a CoinCo 9360. The correct coin mech will have a 12 pin connector. Your bill acceptor will need to have an 18 pin connector and a harness that connects them. Walta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZVendor Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Switch 6 turns the fives on only if you have current software in the validator. As Walta mentioned you will need the harness that connects to the validator to have a 9 pin connector and an 18 pin connector. The 18 pin is how the validator communicates and gets the 5 enabled by the coin mech. The short pulse setting is usually sufficient for a single price setup but you might need to use the long pulse.

Walta I have also seen the Coinco USQ model that has a Jones plug and a MDB harness and was very surprised that Coinco made a model like that. It was not a single price mech but rather a 24V logic mech that could be connected as micromech or MDB, but not both. It almost seemed to be a Frankenstein model. As you said it is very rare to find one and the two I've seen have both been in AP frozen machine towers. The way I found them was that the operators (two different ones) had connected both harnesses to the machine at the same time which wreaked havoc with the logic board. I was dumbfounded that Coinco would produce such a mech that could so easily be connected wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
