THIS MORNING I TRIED TO USE MY SODA MACHINE AND IT WOULDNT ACCEPT ANY COINS. ITS A DIXIE NARCO 501 WITH A COINCO COIN ACCEPTOR. I OPENED THE SODA MACHINE UP AND DROPPED A QUARTER INN AND AS SOON AS THE QUARTER LANDED IN THE QUARTER TUBE IT SHOT A QUARTER OUT OF THE PAYOUT. IT DID THE SAME THING WITH NICKELS AND DIMES. IT WOULDNT VEND. THANKS FOR ANY HELP.

a coin that the coin mech will actually PAY that coin back out to the coin return? Or are you perhaps actually seeing the coin fall into the coin return after dropping through the coin mech and not being counted? If the coins do go into the tubes and then are paid back out immediately then you either have a bad coin mech if your machine is single price or you have lost your pricing if the machine is multi-price with a logic board and credit display. If you have a logic board it may be bad.
If your coins are simply falling through the coin mech and into the coin return and the machine is a single price machine, you could have an unused credit on the machine, an open circuit in your selection panel, a bad cluster switch on one of the motors or there could be a jammed column preventing the machine from completing a vend.
If you'd provide more info then we can diagnose it better.
