I was able to finish off my Westinghouse 78 today! It's polished, vending, set for .50 cents, adjusted for aluminum cans and has custom made flavor strips. I thought that I was in the clear yesterday until I found out the hard way that "adjustments" needed to be made to allow the bigger soda cans to fall vend compared to the smaller soda bottles.

Spoon-feeding Newbies since 2001...  Yeah..220,221 whatever it takes. Remember, all it needs is a shot of Freon! The Vendo V-83 is the '59 Edsel of the coke machine world. ;p Spray painting does NOT restore a compressor 11 is louder than 10... "Hope" is good, but it's not an action plan. |

It turned out nice!
My Westy 60's are my workhorse machines!
I am sure the vend adjustments is the same as the S-O-M models. I have all of my links in the upper slot - cans in the outer columns and bottles in the center columns.

Yeah, I freaked out on Friday when I thought I was done, only to find out that cans vended from only 2 of the 6 selections. The instructions on the door showed that adjustments could be done but the manual that I got for Christmas for the machine from Fun-Tronics really helped me find where I needed to make the adjustments. I got 5 outta 6 working but actually had to shorten one of them back up for the Sprite before it worked. I was happy as a clam when all 6 finally vended. |

Yeah, I think these Westinghouse machines are awesome, I told my co-workers that it can vend cans and bottles and they are lobbying me to put beer in it. I told them no way for several reasons, but mostly cause I am not selling beer for .50 cents  |
