AngryChris Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 I used 9302-L's for my polyvends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snickers Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Inone technologies has a board kit for that model. It will cost several hundred dollars but you can run any MDB payment device and even add a card reader if you wanted to. Not sure if you want to spend that kind of money on it or not but a lot of people don't know Inone offers that Polyvend kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maestro489 Posted March 22, 2018 Author Share Posted March 22, 2018 So if I used a coinmech that wasn’t meant for this machine what would happen? I used one that was recommended above and now I don’t have any power to the machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngryChris Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Was it a good coin mech? You could damage the coin mech if you used the wrong one. As for having no power, was the board "off" (switch disengaged, display off) when you switched them? If the coin mech was bad and had a short, you could have blown a fuse.

maestro489 Posted March 23, 2018 Author Share Posted March 23, 2018 So I don’t have power at all to the machine. I wasn’t aware that I could turn the board off and on how dO I do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngryChris Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 when you slide the panel out, the switch is no longer pressed which, to my knowledge, kills power to the board. The only way to program that machine is to pull the switch out from behind the panel (because it should be "off" when you pull the sliding panel out). So, if your polyvend goes "off" when you pull that sliding panel out, then you should be totally fine to change the coin mech. If your polyvend does NOT go off when you pull the panel out, or you purposely pulled the switch out leaving the machine "on" when you changed the coin mech, you may have burnt out the board. Are you aware if the display goes off when you originally pulled the door out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maestro489 Posted March 23, 2018 Author Share Posted March 23, 2018 I unplugged the machine before I installed the coinmech. Then plugged it back in the display came on for a few seconds and then went off. I found the fuse on the board and it was blown. So I’ll replace it. The problem I’m having now is the coinmech. I’m wondering if the coinmech is what caused the fuse to blow. I inherited tons of coinmechs from my uncle and to say he was unorganized is an understatement so I have no ideas which ones are good and which need repair.

AZVendor Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 You can never assume any coin mech or validator that is out of a machine is a working unit. Yes, you coin mech can be the problem. Unless you are willing to go through these issues each time you use an unknown coin mech or validator then you should have someone check them out for you or buy yourself an expensive bench tester for them.

Going from memory, I don't know if there is a place to mount a card reader on this model lol. Where did you see that inone sells a board for a polyvend? I wouldn't dare put that much money into a polyvend unless I had a spare parts machine, but I just recently scrapped 2 and I am sending some parts off soon once I take them off.

lacanteen Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 You should not put $4,000 in rims and tires on a $750 car, let alone $1500 in amps and speakers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snickers Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 I believe there are a few different fuses down low in the corner of the bottom of the cabinet where the power supply is-have you checked all of those? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CajunCandy Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 If you need a spare board for your Polyvend 6640, I think I have board and display, just have to make sure display is correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure distributors don't bother with stocking them but they can be bought from calling Inone direct. The story goes that the reason they make them is because of a customer wanting a bunch of them-like thousands. So they made them. They told me the customer is in Australia. Must still be a pretty popular machine there. We had several at one time and I'm glad they are all gone. They never needed worked on tho and some got heavy use. We still have a few R32 models out there-I will be glad when they are gone but they will not die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their downfall is not their quality but, rather, the scarcity of parts, the shallow cabinets, and the worst part was just trying to mount a validator. I actually have never heard anyone say that polyvend 6000's were problematic at all. The problem almost always came down to just needing to replace a motor and not being able to get them anywhere lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just got rid of 2 machines and I need to part out a few shelves and send some motors to someone else who needs some motors. I was just stating that the machines are good but parts are hard to get. Thanks anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
