<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Shreadvector, post: 1326093, member: 34867&quot;]I cannot provide links back in time of manuals of the old coin mechs, but they all had dollar coin capability. They could accept and drop them into the coin box. Newer machines also had a fourth tube to hold dollar coins to use as change for larger bills.</p><p><br /></p><p>As i mentioned, they got a LOT of phone calls asking about their changers and dollar coins as most end users had no idea what features were already built in and had lost their manuals. Advertising the dollar coin capability makes the item seem more capable as if it was a new feature.</p><p><br /></p><p>Perhaps one of those internet archive sites has old versions of the older coin mech manuals online?</p><p><br /></p><p>All i know is what i remember from dealing with this issue since the early 1980&#039;s when i got invovled with getting the dollar coin feature activated on vending machines at the huge company where I worked. The vending people initially insisted it could not be done, but I got the manual and showed them and made them open a machine with me standing there, and I pointed to the small switch and had them flip it. *poof* it accepted SBA dollars. They were amazed and flipped that switch on all their other machines.</p><p><br /></p><p>i repeated this over the years as new vendors came in and installed their own machines until 1980, when the mid-year change to the mechanisms occurred. At that point, they were shipped from the coin mech factory with the feature turned on.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
