I recently purchased a Vendo 63. My wife has been having problems with it vending sometimes, but I thought that she was just not pulling the bottles hard enough. I decided to investigate further and it seems to happen on the top 4 selections the most. I even tried pulling the vending mechanism by hand (grasping the rollers) and it comes part way (about a third?) out. I pull a couple of times and it finally releases. I checked the block bar and felt behind the captive bar and everything seems okay, but it has be to catching on something.
I have the December 1958 version of the manual and it lists some things to lubricate. It seems like most of the items are behind the captive bar and the vend port assembly!
Now, finally, here are my questions:
1) Do you think lubricating will help? If not, what else can I do?
2) How do I easily lubricate these parts? Do I have to take the whole darn thing apart?
If anyone has a "lubricating diagram" I would like to see it (Rock-Ola included one with their jukebox manuals, I wonder why Vendo doesn't include it with their machines).

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. |

I would try WD 40ing everything and manually moving things back and forth....why are you making your wife do all the dirty work...she's having all the fun!

Had similiar troubles on a RT-56 stack. It's not that hard to take out (just ackward). A good bath is in order before any oiling. I just used a drop of sewing machine oil at friction points. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the help. I oiled some parts, worked them and it seems to work a little better. Maybe later in the week I'll have a chance to get in there further and oil up some more. I'm still debating about trying to take out the vending mechanism or not.

I'm coming in on this discussion a little late, but thought I would suggest removing the vending rack since it's relatively easy to do and lubricate with some white lithium grease on all the cams/gate levers.
FYI, WD-40 eventually gums up and I don't recommend it in certain applications,
