Does anybody know of an accumulative timer that has dual outputs?

Say for example a customer were to insert Two coins (Each coin being a dollars worth), and that would start the vacuum, and then if they inserted two more coins of the same value and that would turn on an air solenoid for an airgun and the timer would run at a slightly more expensive rate,

Does such a timer exist? Cause I thought the “Ginsan 404“ could potentially work, But I’m not exactly sure

Dixmor LED-6S maybe.
I’ve had a look, and it wouldn’t really work, Maybe I should probably use one of them multifunction timer things, Such as the zelio electronic relay But I would probably prefer it being an all in one package kind of thingBut I would probably prefer it being an all in one package kind of thing

I’m kinda hoping to probably not Install selection buttons
Even if you could make that work, it doesn't sound like a good idea. What if I want to vacuum all of my unused sand, gravel, leaves, or whatever out of the back of my truck and want to put in $10, so I won't keep having to stop? I know that's extreme and a bit of a joke, but a mini-van trashed by a bunch of kids could easily suck up the same amount in vacuum time. I think would lead to much confusion and I don't like it at all...sorry.

I do get your point, And I do apologise if I explained it really awkwardly and if I over complicated it , So if someone had Deposited two dollars, that would start the vacuum, if they deposit another two dollars on top, they would have the option of using the airgun while they are vacuuming, the vacuum would still be running but the extra credit is what would open the solenoid valve for the air gun, So that way People can still vacuum as much as they want but it also give them the option of using the air gun Without interrupting them using the vacuum

Best option i s likely a second accepter and timer for the other item if you don't want a selector switch ned for LED 6.
That’s true that’s true, I have actually seen that used before in Europe, on a double vacuum where it has a banner around the Two acceptors That read “AIR GUN” for air control, and the two outer acceptors that would’ve been closest to parking spaces for the vacuums they would control the vacuum motors

The GS404 works like the LED6s but without a display. You would still need switches.
