I found a black tube in the bottom of the machine by the compressor.  I'm presuming this is the drain tube and it goes from a connector and drips into the removable pan?  There's this rusty thing hanging down from the top of the compressor area, I would presume, due to the rust, that this is where the water would be coming from, plus it's over the pan.  I haven't seen anything drip from there the last few days I've had it running.  I'll check that out today.


I'll have to figure out how to tear down the coin acceptor.  I'm afraid of breaking it, or not remember where things go.  Is the ballast located where the bulb is behind the sign?  I'm presuming you access it by removing the two screws on the bottom of the sign?

$800?  That gives me a warm fuzzy feeling that I got a good deal. I picked this up for $150.

     A guy falls for this restored V-81 but $6000. is out of his budget!

     Also a Vendo 110 is too pricey at $2500.

     So I offer him Cavalier 64's for $800.each.    Still too much $$ 

     My final offer, a complete working Coke machine for $400. (Now the guy is all ears)!

     I point up to the tall V-126 in the corner.............and his smile dropped.

     He then realized that $800.00 is reasonable for a small decent looking machine that
     has been serviced and tested and is ready for home use today!

     

Nice job Moondawg

The bell shaped item is the drain tube on some Cav's. It fills with water and dumps it to the drip pan. Just make sure it moves freely and isn't clogged and all should be well.

Slug rejector is the assembly above the blue sticker in your photo. Should be held in place by clips or screws.

Let us know if you have any questions.

The bell on the drain tube didn't seem to move.  I pushed up on what looked to be a counter weight and it finally broke free.  It now pivots freely on the cotter pin.  I'm presuming that is the correct way it should be working.  Thanks for the tip.

I was playing around with the coin mech, and I flipped the microswitch under the slug rejector a couple of times and the "Exact Change Only" light went out and the mech started humming.  I wasn't sure what it was doing.  I thought it may have activated the gate where I could pull a bottle.  Nope, that wasn't working.  The humming was getting louder, so I unplugged my machine and disconnected the mech thinking I was going to burn something up.  I then removed the slug rejector.

The slug rejector seems to pass quarters, but not nickels when removed from the mech.  When inserted back into the mech both are rejected.  I'll do a search on the forums on how to clean this thing up and we'll see if it makes a difference.  Thanks all for the help.
