WalterG Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 I have a machine that I acquired some time ago and I am cleaning it up to use in the manufacturing plant where I work for the guys. I want to change the price to .75 cents and I know that this bank of switches are the settings, but not which ones to change to get to that without trial and error. Does anyone know what each switch changes in the way of price? Thanks for any advice you have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CajunCandy Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Simply. Starting with the dip switches in your middle picture, from left to right, push the four switches up. That set prices at 75 cents. 5-10-20-40 Hope it helps you. cajun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalterG Posted July 22, 2015 Author Share Posted July 22, 2015 I will try that and let you know if it works. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cvending Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 The dip switches in your second pic is where you set prices. Their value from left to right double with each switch( 5, 10, 20, 40, 80, 1.60). Turn on the switches that add up to .75 ( 5+10+20+40). All selections will now vend for .75 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalterG Posted July 23, 2015 Author Share Posted July 23, 2015 On this same machine, there appears to be a space where a bill changer could be placed. Does anyone know if that is possible? There are two plug pigtails that come off the coin changer, are these for a bill changer? If so, does someone know where I could get one and how much it would run me?

Or give AZvendor a holler and he can fix you up with what you need to install a dba. cajun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalterG Posted July 24, 2015 Author Share Posted July 24, 2015 I will need to find out how to put in these wiring harnesses. I will also need the bill reader, there is not one in the machine now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZVendor Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Your machine is a Royal single price RV448 and the plate above the coin insert with the instruction label on it is removable to mount a bill validator. The coin mech does have a harness on it for connection to a validator. You can PM me and I can ship you the parts for one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalterG Posted July 26, 2015 Author Share Posted July 26, 2015 The fact that you are able to identify the machine from just these pictures is amazing. I still can't find any identification on the machine for what the model is. I did find a tag that has Royal Vending on it, but no model number as yet. Thanks for the reply to the PM, I am considering the addition of the bill validator and will contact you when I make a decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalterG Posted February 16, 2016 Author Share Posted February 16, 2016 I have a new question about this. Is there an easy way to get an accurate change count of what is in this unit without using the buttons to eject the coins. I know it has the line with the number of each coin, but if they are not lined up with the mark it's hard to tell the exact number.

AZVendor Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Coinco 3 tube coin mechs have $32-34 worth of change in them when the tubes are full. There's no need to know the exact count. Just let the mech fill the tubes and then the extra coins will go to the coin box. That's how they're designed to work. The only adjustment you can make is to turn on the Low Quarters switch which will only put 8-10 quarters in the tube before the lower sensor is covered which would then direct extra quarters to the coin box.
