 I'm bummed, it's supposed to be in the 90's around these parts this weekend and the solenoid in my vendo 154 took a dump.  Was wondering if anybody had one laying around b-4 I order one.  It's the vending solenoid that goes under the bottle stack on the square-corner slant shelf Vendo's.  While I'm posting I'm looking for a couple of the metal s shaped pieces that screw onto the bottle gates and make the captive links of the bottle stack move for a project machine.  THanks for looking.

 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. |  |  |

 Yep.  that be it.   A machine I picked up awhile back had 5 of them missing.  Don't know why, everything worked great when Ratted some off another machine.  Thanks for the Picture Johnie. |

 Brian,I've got a Vendo 63 that I'm parting out.  Is the vending solenoid in the square metal box under the bottle stack?
 I'll look and post back tonight.

 The gate levers were removed to "freeplay" bottle selections. |

 No fun in that... no button to push, no sanp of the solenoid, ...  and it seems like a lot more work then wiring a freeplay button?| Quote (MoonDawg @ June 24 2005,8:32) |  | The gate levers were removed to "freeplay" bottle selections. |

 The Solenoid is in side the little metal box.  Take the 3 screws off the  metal box comes off.  The solenoid is cotter pinned and screwed to a metal plate with a spring and a arm on it.  The plate comes off with three screws.  I know I'm greedy but I would love the whole plate if possible.  Thakns in advance.Brian

 Bryan, Removing the gate levers is just as easy as a free play switch. Usually you have to take the bottle stack out anyways to clean and lube it.  I used to have a machine set up this way that I would just use at parties.  The youngsters had a much easier time with the concept of opening a door and pulling a bottle then having to deposit cash first then open door and pull. |

 Personally, I like to make it difficult for the youngsters.  '> And I especially like it difficult if I have beer bottles in mine.

 I know I go against the grain around here but I just can't handle beer in the soda machine.  Then again I am not a big beer consumer either.  I keep the beer in a under-counter wine cooler I had installed in the kitchen when the house was built. |
