I have an yellow and red Age challenger crane machine. That can with no power cord. I'm trying to figure out how to power it. It has an connector unplug that I don't know what it plugs into. Don't want to fry the main board. The 3rd image is what the crane machine looks like
Thank You

Man, I wish I could help. I had two AGE Snack Attacker cranes and the one looked exactly like yours, but the marquee was different. I just checked my archives and all I was able to find was the programming of the machine and I never did find a schematic for it. If you find someone with a Snack Attacker, that is the same machine.

Heh. I used to call it my "Saturday Night Special." I loaded mine with the mini plastic liquor bottles, condoms, and candy. Sadly, when I bought my house in 2010, I sold it not long after.

It might go to the flourescent light that is mounted behind the marquee. It looks like it has 120VAC on those pins. 120VAC was used for the rope lights and flourescent light.
You have the original non-programmable candy crane. The trolley and circuit board was patterened after the old "Skil Crane" built in Florida. I think the circuit board was modified so it would be win every time.

Correct - AGE cranes were a winner with every coin.

That's why they are full of cheap prizes (penny candy and the like) or you'll go broke.
 
I used 5 cent candy in mind and those games, believe it or not, made me a decent amount of money. I'm going to be selling my AGE games on eBay pretty soon. I want to do a package deal. I've been out of the vending business for a while now and there is no need for me to keep them, accept sentimental value.
If anyone is interested just let me know before I list them. I've got games, boards, parts, trolleys. They all need help so they are just for repair or parts. They might be repairable. Who knows , maybe wire in a Chinese board. I designed and built a replacement board years ago. I asked here on the forum if there was interest in replacement boards but never heard anything so I never made more than the one.
 
I'll try to remember to go look at my AGE candy crane. I didn't know if I still had this type (non-programmable) or not, but as I was gathering up my stuff for sale I came across one.
 
I Believe that those wire went to the power supply which is not in the cabinet. Pretty sure I can wire a new power supply I would just need to figure out what the voltage for each wire is there is 2 blue,1 black 1 white, and 1 green. The other two wires that are pigtail of the connector I do believe they went to the flourescent bulb behind the marquee. Thanks

PDF is attached. It's short and pretty simple to do. I'm attaching it here in the forum so if anyone else needs it, it's there for the taking.
