Well, I finally got some quality "Soda-Barn" time & repaired the vending circut on my Vendorlator V165-5 /Faygo machine, it's an mid 60's machine, converted to vend 12oz. & 10oz. pull-top steel cans, but it vends aluminium cans just fine, had a total of three defective micro-switches down on the vending rack, one vending soleniod switch for column#1 was cracked in half, & the the other two had the normally open terminal fractured right off at the switch case, for those of you who are blessed with owning one of these machines, the vending circut is daisy-chained through four sets of micro-switches,
(one set for each column) two for the empty switch, one for the vending soleniod, & one more for the vending gate itself. a joy to work on...  '>
This is the same machine I got this past spring, which was left loaded with soda & pushed outside the orignal owners garage to freeze all the soda-cans, which of course burst & then defrosted come spring, creating a lake of soda-sludge
worthy of a sewage treatment plant. thick as a tar-pit & very ripe smelling...well it's squeaky clean now & none the worse for
the abuse, I also had to rewire the light-up with new ballasts & starters..I really like the 70's Red & Blue Faygo logo, & the original 60's Faygo Crest on the sides of the machine, and the round selection buttons.
and of course here are a few pictures...

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. |

Very 70-ish! I like it, good to see you got it into working condition. Yeah, I can't get over the wiring set-ups in some of these machine.....must be LSD inspired. You just don't need that many switches. I guess it was just cheap that way.
