I need wiring and parts!!!

[jasmine64]

ok I'm having a lot of trouble finding parts and wiring to rewire the Vendo 56. Took the door liner off the wires look useable, but feel like I should rewire it anyway.

Where can I get the supplies I need.  Female jones, (for the coin mech), light socket for the vending door, locking clip for connecting the wires from the door to the cooling system, 5 1/2 ftt wire!

OR is there any one out there that can build me a new wiring system ?

Newark has the jones sockets here..

You should post in the swap meet area, I was looking for the socket myself and vend_dr was kind enough to give me one !  I'm sure others have one they can sell/give away..

The light socket and locking clip I'm not sure of, but again try the swap meet.. who knows what people have..

If the wire is just standard electrical wire (simmilar to household wiring) then any hardware/electrical store should sell it by the reel or per foot...

I think that from now on the female jones socket should be renamed the "Shirley Jones" or "Mrs. Partridge".

The wires were cut!  Why not splice them back together and be done ?

[jasmine64]

The wires were cut on the coin mech. The male end.

What I need are the wires to rewire the light socket, plug
to the female socket and locking clip to the cooling system.
This is all that is in the insulation inside the door liner.
About 5 1/2 feet of wires x 7.

I think I found some things in memphis wont know until Monday.

The wires are broken, stretched and cracked from the force they were pulled out.

[jasmine64]

Pulled from the front by the plug. This caused the wires to break at the plug, seperate and crack at the light socket. Come loose from the locking clip.

Coin mech. I have a replacement coming. Thanks, Joesquid!!

Jas,

I have a replacement Female Jones Plug (AKA, Shirley, better Kito?) that I could send you. It's form/fit/function are the same. If you want to see an example of the one I'm talking about, take alook in the Photo section of SMC under my Cavalier 55 restoration. It's either on the 2nd or 3rd page. It uses slide-on spade connectors versus a crimped pin with locking tab like the original. That makes it easir to troubleshoot/replace if you ever need to in the future. Let me know and I'll be more than happy to send you one!

As for the bottle door fixture, I haven't found any that have the same mounting hole config. as of yet. I'll scrounge around for one, but maybe somebody else might have a used one from a parted out machine. I'll bet one is running around here!

Does anyone know if the wiring harness for the Vendo 56 and Vendo 63 are identical?  I've made wiring harnesses before but always had an original on hand to copy from.  If they are identical then I can create a new wiring harness for Jas' machine using my 63 as the base to copy from.

[jasmine64]

Thanks everyone. I'll be getting in touch soon.

(Joesquid) The machine is a V63-7 if that helps.

Ahhhh...
Guess my illiteracy must be showing...thought I read somewhere it was a squaretop 56.  I haven't taken a hard look at the wiring in this machine but should be able to create a new harness from scratch.  It'll take some time as I'll need to yank mine to do measurments, etc.  How soon do you need it?  Mind you now, I have the following charges in addition to parts/labor:
Skinned knuckles - $500
Badly skinned knuckles (requiring band-aid) - $850
Gouged fingers / superficial cuts - $1199
Bruised elbows - $150
Really bad bruises resulting in curse words becoming audible - $700
Curse words overheard by my kids - $5000/word

Let me know when you need it.

[joesquid]

Jas,
One other thing.  Can you tell me when your machine was made?  I want to make it's close enough in age to mine (early 60s model) in hopes the harnesses are similar enough or (hopefully) exact duplicates.

[jasmine64]

It is a squaretop, I'm guessing 64. Could be off a little.

I followed that link and the connector picured only has 7 pins (6 plus the round one).  Have you purchased this p# before and received the 9 pin connector?

Jasmine - some more ideas if you still need them.  

Light socket for the vending door  -> I was looking for a similar assembly /clip for the exact change light.  I wasn't been able to find any oringinal replicas for these but was pointed to using a candelabra socket from home depot / lowes.  They have clips and screw locks.  This is what I'll use for my exact change light.  Might work for you also.  For a beter description (and pictures) search the forums for candelabra for posts in 2005.  You should come up with the original input (i think from Brian) that I received.

Locking clip for connecting the wires from the door to the cooling system: similar issue. couldn't find the exact match so I went to Radioshack and bought both male and female connectors.  You can see them here, and they come in many different connector options (2, 4, 6 or 8 pins).

Hope it helps

Ignore the picture.. it's a generic picture used for all the sockets.. go by the part number: S-2408-CCT (S = socket, P = plug, 08 = 8 pins)

Funtronics has a replacement socket, but not the jones plug or locking clip.

Still chasing down the other things I need in memphis should get another call from them.
