I HAVE A OLD CRANE NATIONAL 147 THAT WORKS FINE BUT WONT TAKE COINS. ITS TAKES BILLS, VENDS THE PRODUCT AND GIVES THE CORRECT CHANGE BUT WONT TAKE COIN IT JUST SPITS IT RIGHT OUT THE RETURN SHOOT.ONCE AND A WHILE IT WILL TAKE THE COIN AND DUMP IT IN THE COIN BIN BUT WONT REGISTER THAT IT ACCEPTED THE COIN.
I SWAPED OUT THE COIN MECH AND THE SAME THING HAPPENS. SO I KNOW ITS NOT THE COIN MECH.
IM STUMPED

MODEL MC5000

do you have another machine to put the mech in?it don't sound like its the machine unless there's a loose connection somewhere.

I swapped out the cion mech from another machine and put the one that i think was bad into the other machine and it works. so i dont think its the mech. whats funny is that when i put a dollar bill in it and select a item it gives me change from the coin mech. Does that mean that the coin mech is working ????. what i did notice is that every now and then it would take a coin but after the first coin it wont take another it would just fall to the return bin and it takes a few minutes before it says i have a credit for the coin it did take.

its a older crane 147

can i tune this mech its a mc5000

the 5000 is not field tunable.I had almost the exact same thing,I put in a refurb 6000 in and haven't had a problem since.the reason the mech will give change is the acceptor portion is out of the loop.
