Is there a ggod way to fix a warped door?  I was thinking of getting the door closed and wrapping a strap around it for a couple of days.  Will that work?

Any help is appreciated......

Warped V80 main door?  Mine was warped....before I put anything together, I laid the main cabinet (on its back (with the main door on its hinges and no insulation or small door) and carefully and slowly bent it back into shape. Fits perfectly now. Need to be careful not to break the hinges.

I may try that. The bottom part of the door won't close all the way.

Glen do you have a pic of your coin mech?  I think I may not have the right on in my machine. Then one that's in mine is mostly plastic.

Have you recently taken teh door liner off and put it or new one back on?
First time I ever restored a machine, didn't realize or think to lay the door perfectly flat and put on the liner and the door was twisted, had to remove and redo.

I did just replace the liner.  Wow that is weird. Do I need to take the door off the hinges?  If so how easy is that?

Door simply lifts off the hinges - straight up (pinned hinges)....make sure the wires for the Vend Motor are disconnected

Loosen up the liner screws and shift into alignment. Retighten screws. T

It might be easier to remove the door and lay it on some saw horses so it's flat. then make your adjustments like indicated.

In the future just leave the door on the machine. It's easier for me that way.T
