Michaeljp86 Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 I need to get a dollar validator and coin changer for my snack machine. I pulled the validator and changer out of a pop machine while working on the snack machine. The validator is a mars VFM3 R1 U4C and the coin changer is a mars TRC 6000. There is alot of them on ebay but Im not sure what I can use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poplady1 Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 What kind of a snack machine do you have... Blue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michaeljp86 Posted October 6, 2009 Author Share Posted October 6, 2009 Its a automatic 430, the validator and coin changer I mentioned above work in this machine. The coin changer must be 24v and the validator 115v. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technivend Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 The TRC6000 that you mentioned is a 110v unit not 24 volts like you specify. The AP430 machine never had a validator from the factory. You obviously have a kit in the machine. Some of the earlier kits are validator specific. Did the VFM bolt in and wok for you? What brand of kit do you have in the machine?

Poplady1 Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 I was wondering when you would show up and help him out. My first thought was the volts were wrong and he fried it but maybe not. Blue Moose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technivend Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Hey Bev! The vfm is 110v and so is the 6000. So he hopefully will be ok. The kit is the key. Some had weird interfaces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michaeljp86 Posted October 7, 2009 Author Share Posted October 7, 2009 I have no idea what the kit is, Ill look tomorrow and see what I can find. I know the validator is 115V, when I was trying to get it going I followed out the wires and tested to make sure I had voltage there. The reason I though the coin changer was 24V is there is a sticker on the plug that the changer plugs into that said 24V. The machine worked perfect with this validator and changer. Only problem is the validator is a R1 and I need a L1, I need the electronics on the left or they hit the gum buttons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANDERSONVENDING Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 I have one and it has a TRC 6000 coin mech,they're both 117v.I also have a Mars 2501 validator in it. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michaeljp86 Posted October 8, 2009 Author Share Posted October 8, 2009 It is 120V, I guess some bozo pulled that sticker off something and needed a place to stick it. So will any 120v coin chnager work? or do mars and coinco use different plugs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANDERSONVENDING Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Coinco is 9300 series, 12 pin 117 volts.The sticker thats on the black plug is from the old system. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
