One of the most frequent questions we get asked here at ColaMachines is how to set a coin mech to free vend. On machines that did not use an electric mech bypassing is fairly simple. You typicaly just need to adjust a few screws. The real challege is bypassing the electric mechs that were typicaly used in machines after the mid 1950's . Most of the electric mechs used in the old coke machines can't be set to vend for free. To solve this problem we now offfer bypass switch kits in our online store. To install all you need to do is remove your old mech and plug in our bypass kit. Our bypass switch takes less than five minutes to install and does not require you to cut any wires or solder any connections. All you have to do is plug it in. Once its installed you will never have to use coins, repair, or replace your coin mech again. To vend a drink all you do is press a small microswitch. Its that simple.
