Hi Guys...

Picked up the National Vending Machine today.. 330 mile round trip...

Have spent all afternoon shoe horning it into my room.. Looks dinky next to the Stoner...
Haven't had anytime to have a good look at it and now I have a sore throat and I'm off to bed...

The coin mech is different to anything I've had before..The machine was last used in 1980 and looks like it would have vended a packet of cigarettes for 85c. Can't get it to work at the moment so will be looking for some advice on that...

Does anyone sell a restoration manual for this machine.. Covering things like coin mechs... ?

Dave, congrats it looks to be in pretty good shape.  This is very similar to my machine that you sent me the pull lever for.  I've not put mine back together yet, but if you have any questions about the mech I can try to help. 

Thanks,
David

Take a picture of the mech.  Guessing it is a sliding mech.

Thanks for all the positive coments.. would just like to get the baby to work now...

Can't work out how the coin mech works or even what coin it would have vended on. The only advertising on the front says 85c so I'm assuming that the coin mech would accept all three coins to the value of 85c. Exact coins only.. No change.

Chaps plse excuse my ignorance here but I just can't see how it all comes together.. I can see that the slug rejector sits on top of the coin mech and that somehow the coin mech will slide across (I think) because it appears to be in a runner.. But that's about all I can work out.. Can't even see how it vends...

Have enclosed some pictures... Anyone that can throw light on this plse chip in... Plse remember that I am veyr slow on the up take so work at ground level...

I would like to get it onto one coin if possible.. Don't care which one although 5c would be best...

Thanking you greatly in anticipation...

Dave
