Not sure this is the right spot for this, but I just picked up a cool little soda machine for the arcade. It worked fine, but when I messed with changing the price on the coinco coin mech, now it won't work. Coins just fall through. It's a coinco 9341s mech, and has power, ejects change but just won't accept coins and credit a vend. Thought I'd through my problem out on klov before I blindly start buying new parts. Thanks
 
Is there a coin lockout coil on there that might not be aligned correctly, causing the coins to fall through? I can't remember if they were used on soda machines.
 
Make sure you have coins in the tubes. What did you set the coin mech to? If there is no change in the tubes, it will work on exact change only. Also make sure you complete the vend cycle. Its been awhile since I messed with one of these, but this is what comes to mind.

Did you try to put it back to the value it was at when it worked last?

I will try and put it back to original price. Otherwise I have put change in the tubes and cleaned it well. Further research on vending machine boards has me worried I fried the little pcb, when messing with it the ribbon cable came unplugged, then I just replugged it in. All will powered up.
 
Depending on your machine, make sure that the low drink switch on the hoppers are engaged. This means you need probably at least 4 drink in one of the hoppers.

In my mind I am picturing a Venco 200/220? What machine you got? :D

It's a LaCrosse 170, I don't think it's a very collectable machine, but I saw it and and had to have it. Gets cold, doesn't pull a ton of power and has a nice look.

That's a vendco 220 clone ;D

Check the hoppers, make sure there is enough sodas in there and that it is not jammed
