Johnie, do you have enough of your own mech.s to offer an exchange service?  If I send you a complete servicable mech, I really don't care if that's the one I get back.

Hmm, I haven't considered an exchange program yet, something we could possibly work out, ( it would depend on the condition of the mechs sent to me) I've gone through a box of swap-meet mech's I picked up over the last weekend & So far I've got Three Coinco S-75-9800/A models, & Two Coinco S-75-9800/B models ready to go, I also have an S75-9400/A (simular to the S75-9800/A series, able to be set for 5-cents up to & 75-cents/Vend,but it gives back Dimes & Nickles as change) & a couple of die-cast metal Coinco's too.  

Oh! and I'm now setup with Paypal, (Yes it's a pain, but also a convenience for many, the value for me is it cuts down on "pay-day" delay in shipping out Items back to the customer.

If you like I can evaluate the condition of your mechs first & we can go from there....

John I need some time to save some money but I am interested in sending you some of my mechs. I think they are all complete, but I know that some will be beyond repair so what isn't able to be fixed you can keep for spare parts. I am going to be sending the rest of your parts for the Vendo 56 out in an hour or so.

No problem,I'll see what you got & go from there Josh...

Did you create your own troubleshooting board or did you find one of the old 9800 series bench testers?  I've been looking forever to find one in order to repair my own mechs!

Yep! I've got the bench tester ( had to pry it out of the cold dead hands of a local vending tech...so to speak  ':p' ) & I've pretty much reverse-engineered the circut boards & have a working schematic of the little buggers...

I dont need one fixed But Im glad someone has figured it out so there is SOMEONE who can do it. I want a 50's CRT tube repaired( re Gunned) if It was the 60's I could have gotten it done cheap, Now the price scares me and I would have to ship it. GEESE ':p'

it depends on what's wrong with, them, but usually about 4-5 business days. go over them & make sure they are complete, if some of them are not , you may wish to send them along as  "organ-doners"

I find the hardest thing to repair ( due to lack of replacement parts) are burned out CREMS ( I usually just have to remove & bypass them) & busted coin switches (when the "whisker" wire that detects the coin passing by is broken off) not to mention changer motors that are jammed & broken....

as for the Vari-price, you can send it along with the others & I can have a look-see at it, but I only have 2 units in the "bone-yard" so I can't promise anything, but hey, it won't hurt to have a look!   ':<img:'>

Hello


I wrote this last night & then went back to reveiw the whole thread.

I think the Vari-price is just going in the trash or I could donate it to the boneyard for others. I will test my three new ones when they arrive & then send a few for rehab.
