Does anyone here have a C55 that is sucessfully vending cans? I am having problems trying to get the C55 I recently restored to vend cans. It works great with the door open but as soon as the door is closed it will only vend a can or two before it stops vending. I have bypassed the "sold out" switch to eliminate it as being the problem. It doesn't appear to be binding up. it does vend bottles.

From what I understand Terry -
To vend the various size bottles and cans, you would use a combination of shims/spacers.
For example:
One bottle may use 6 shims on each side and a spacer on each side.
Another may use just the spacers and some did not use a spacer or shims.
With the correct shim/spacer set in the machine,
the first two bottles of cans should have about a 30 degree pitch.
When the 3rd bottle or can is put in, you should have about 1/16 inch clearance between the 2nd and 3rd.
At least that is what the manual says!
I'd like to see what your back spacer rests on in the can position - can you take a pic of it.

I have tried various shims and spacers to get the cans at the 30 degrees and that works great with the door open but as soon as the door closes thats when the problem starts. It doesn't appear to be altering the bottle chute.

How are your back spacers positioned?
Could the Sold Out flappers be pushing the cans back causing them to jam?
When they don't vend, can you tell where they jam.
When you say bypass, I cannot discern whether you removed them or just disconnected the switch.
Try retaining them back somehow.
Other than that, I can't think of anything offhand that could be causing your problem.
I'll keep thinking.

Terry,
I have been thinking.
Since the SO flappers are the only items that interact with the bottle stack with the door closed...
...it must have something to do with them!
You say it works fine with the door open, so it can't be the can diameter or anything related to the vending stack.
Try removing the SO flappers or simply disconnecting the spring that holds them open.
Process of elimination should reveal the cause.
That is all I can think of currently.
Good Luck!
