Hello to all members .
You can call me Ghost
I have been in the vending business for a little over a year now and have not run into any problems until last week and I got my cherry popped.
I learn a lesson on not what NOT to buy but hey the price was right and this machine is going into a dirty work shop and the only reason I got it was for the ability to multi price.
I have purchased a Dixie Narco DNCB440 with a 2 button control board.
The issue I am having is the Mars bill acceptor is not take more than one dollar when I need it to take 3 dollar.
Model VN 2511 U3
I have the side switches set at 1,2,4,7, and 8 are in the on position. Anyone have any ideas on how to correct this issues??????

Next question is I need to replace the push buttons on one of my machines due to they are yellow and you cannot see the labels. If anyone knows the correct part number I could really use it. Or if someone has some for sale, I am always willing to deal; I am in need of 8 of them. I am look for misalliance used parts for 440s also and if you have some in your garage and wife is on your case to clean it out let me know. As of right now I do not have a wife and my man cave is mine.
the model number is DNCB 440/252-8

If you have the single price changer's switches set to $3.00, and it won't take more than $1.00, I'd say that your relay, or your coin mech is malfunctioning. Do you have another single price mech that you could put in there to test it?

Well H4UV I guess I need to get a spare coin mech for this machine I believe it to be a Mars 6000 but I will double check later in the week and post this. I am wondering what your screen name stands for?????

I got a call back from Mars about this issue and the lady told me to turn off #8
So I got up and an hour early and did this. Ok here is the funny thing that happens.
It took the frst dollar but not the second one. I vend one coke
then it would take 2 dollars but not three dollars. vend one coke and get correct change
now the machine will take 3 dollars and vend my monster and give the correct change
buttttttttt
if i open the door and put these sodas back in stock i have to start all over on getting it to take the amout of dollars.

i also got a jam signal today and it was my first one... but no jam i pulled the soda out and check the rotating assy is in good working order and i see no twist in the craddle. did a motor test and reload. problem solved I think.
I am really leaning towards in getting a new control board. I found one on ebay that states new in the box. can anyone tell me a fair value on this part? Can they be re worked????

If it is a single price machine, then you need a TRC 6800H, or Coinco's version. If it is a multi-price, and you are using it as such, then a TRC 6000 would work. If you need a place to buy them, we sell them for $79.00 + $14.95 expedited shipping. They are refurbished and come with a 30 day warranty. If you have a TRC 6000 in there, then I would be inclined to believe that it is the main board. The 6800H may be more of a problem if that is what you are using. Either way, it is a good idea to have a spare.

Sorry about that I posted something but it didn't go through. You said it takes 1 dollar? does it stack it or hold it in escrow? Do you have anything in the machine priced over $2.00? What kind of coinmech are you using?
The buttons you can get at Vendors Exchange or most local pepsi or coke distributor carry buttons. Just a thought.

You can buy those from Vendor's Exchange. Their number is 1-800-321-2311. They should have your model, but I'm not sure on the price.

i am not sure what you mean by escrow. but yes i sell soda at one price and monsters at another price and thanks for the info

Ghost,

Did you get my PM???

[H4UV]

Escrow means instead of taking the bill and stacking it, it takes it and holds it in the bill path. If the customer inserts a bill, then decides not to make a purchase and pushes coin return, the bill is returned instead of the changer returning change. If a bill is inserted and a selection is made, only after that is the bill stacked. It basically prevents your machine from being used as a dollar bill changer.

mmmmm
well when it takes the bill the green lights on the dollar val. quit flashing on the first dollar. i vend a coke and get correct change.
the dollar val will then take one dollar and the lights will flash and take the 2nd dollar and stop flashing i can not get it to take the 3rd dollar. i can vend a soda and get the correct change
after that the sucker will take 3 dollars and vend my monsters and give correct change.
