I have an older vending machine that had a coinco f150-9402 coin changer 24 volt 8 pin. (Very rare and hard to find)
I have a mars tcr 6800h coin changer that is 110v. I was wanting to split the harness and run power for the changer from a wall outlet. I tried splitting the jones plug, but I can't tell which color wire goes to which pin.
I have 8 pins with seven colors
Red. Yellow blue. Orange. Gray. Purple. Green
Thanks

You need to identify the machine by model number.  This will allow us to determine what coin mech options you might have.  Why are you messing with a 110v mech plugged into a wall outlet?  Is this in trying to get a coin mech to work in this machine?  If the machine is designed to use a 24v coin mech, it generally is not capable of using a 110v coin mech.

APsnackshop 540 is the machine. I have found changers on eBay. Some sellers claim they work. Others will not take questions so I may identify if they are selling what I need.

Is this a machine you want to work well in a good location?  If you think you can make some good money with it and especially if you would like it to take dollar bills, you can install an upgrade board that will allow you to upgrade the coin mech to a late model style and connect a bill validator.   If you only want to use the machine the way it is, your only choice is a coin mech like you have now.  The reason you can't use a 110v coin mech now is that all the vend motors are 24v and that voltage is supplied through the coin mech.

 

If you would like, I can see if I still have one of these and test it to see if it will work for you.

 

What problem are you having in the machine?  You might only have a bad motor switch, bad motor or something other than the coin mech.

The motors are working. They will turn. I don't have the changer anymore. I gave it to a man that works for royal crown to see if he could get it fixed. I have not see or heard from him. So I don't have a changer at all. If you could find one I would real appreciate it

What was the original problem that prompted you to give it to him to repair it?  I need to figure out if you had a coin mech problem or a machine problem.

The coin mech wasn't accepting change. It would just fall through.
I actually work for bout 4 hrs then quit.
Can I upgrade it without sending alot of money?

I have found 2 F150 coin mechs in my shop.  I can sell you one for $125 if you would like to go that way.  Any other conversions will be much more costly.  One thing to keep in mind with this model of machine is that the machine can stop vending if one of the motor switches or motors goes bad.  There is a troubleshooting procedure for that, but you need to have a coin mech in the machine first.
