Sounds like the dip switches are still in the test mode. Try moving all to the off position and then back to the settings of the original CBA that you pulled off. Turn the power of the machine off and then back on. See if that helps. Let us know.

Jeremiah, if the quarters run out - or at least if they get low enough that the bill validator disables - then it would seem like the float sensor may be bad in the quarter tube. I had this problem recently, and it was a bad float sensor.

Before sending it off for repair, you may want to pull the front of the coin tube cover off and clean the sensors good. Sometimes over time the dirt from the coins will cover the sensors with a film of dirt and give the impression of a full tube. It fixes the problem more times than not and doesn't cost anything. Its worth a try and Good luck.

Does anyone know where to get the "Cold Drink" fronts for drink machines. I have ordered custom fronts from tuffronts before, but I just want cheap generic fronts.

Thanks

Try NBS Inc. from South Carolina @ 1-800-325-9021. They may have a website.

Apparently someone has already added refrigerant to this unit if it has the shrader valves already sweated in ( They come from the factory pinched and soldered), so it must have a leak. Unless you have the training, equipment and at least a EPA Type 1 certification, you would be better off buying a complete refrigeration deck and just changing it out. Maybe you can get a little "core charge" from your old one from this guy who is selling you the used one. FYI, Auto R134 is not to be used in appliance R134 refrigeration systems because of the additives, but you can use reg. R134 in Autos. Just my opinion.

I uploaded a couple of larger photos here

and here

hopefully that will help.

I get the idea of setting the prices by the coin mech (mostly) but changing them individually is what's got me stumped and that's the only reason I can figure for the extra switches. I know they work (at least where they are set in the picture) they just stop working when I change them.

You have got a 4 price changer, which only allows 4 different product prices in the machine with a maximum price of .75 with all dip switches in the on position. It appears that you have a 10 price control board installed. Set up 4 different vend prices on the switches, starting with your lowest price (ex. .50) on the No 1 switch and put the next higher price (ex. .55) on the No 2 switch and your next higher price (ex. .65) and the last one (ex. .75) . This will make it easier when you set your board.

To set board to selection prices:

If you want selection A to vend for .75, you will move the A switch to price 4 on board.
If you want selection J to vend for .50, you will move the J swith to price 1 on board.
If you want selection T to vend for .65, you will move the T swith to price 3 on board.


After getting your prices set you can run money through the changer while counting it to make sure your prices are correct.

Give it a try and see what happens. If this changer is compatible it should work. Hopes this helps.
