Stoner Cafe #1

I had this for almost a year now.  So I decided to open it up and give it a whirl.

Why is it I always end up with the nastiest machines?

Not as nice as Curtis's?

It looks like the last vend was in the seventies.  Cool cups inside.

One rodent bed, a few maggot husks, mold, bacteria.....yummy!!

The coolest part is that it had the additional acceptor and changer.  You can set the price from 5c to 10c.  For a ten cent purchase the machine can accept 10 pennies, a nickle and five pennies, a quarter, etc.  Any combo it will take.

Wow!! I love them that way. That way whe3n you're done and it's pristine or better than new, you have the gratification of saying " I did that"

These things are always a mess inside, I found a mouse in mine as well. I put in a few of my before pixs but look at the Choc. inside. They are very hard to clean and takes forever. Good luck with it, it's worth it.

Thanks Curtis.  For a minute I thought you had pictures of mine.  Yuck!! They are a mess.  My canister is identicle.  My creamer turned to plaster.

Keep us posted of the work you do it's great to see the photos. Steve and I are getting ready to start another brand of Coffee machine this week: Hava Java it's much smaller but cute as hell:)

Curtis,

Did you make a new mirror??  Mines fine, just curious.

The girl looks redone also.  Is she new?

What did you use to clean the boiler?  Did you remove the heaters etc.

In your third picture you have two tubes up on top.  I believe the left one is connected to the water solenoid which feeds the bowl the hot water.  What's the other one on the right?

Thanks!!

I've been cleaning and lubricating different assmblies of this machine and I ran into a Merkle Kroff Flexo Action  motor/gear assembly.  

Just curious if anyone knows what the two nuts are on this can.  I am assuming they are for venting??  Removing heat??  If you remove the nut, there is a hollow tube attached to the nut.

I wrote the company (they are still in buisness), I haven't heard from them yet.

I TOOK IT APART.

THEY ARE BASICALLY OIL TUBES FOR THE MOTOR.  THE NORMAL OIL TUBE IS FOR THE GEARS.

Looks like vents to me.
