Title: USS-8-64 top stack vending problem. Post by: dylaninwv on January 12, 2016, 01:27:57 pm Hello, have a weird problem.
Got a Cavalier uss-8-64. Coin mech is a COinco 3340-s. Takes coins fine, and fires the vend solenoid as it should. In the 8 vending stack, the botton four levers will turn, but the top four will not. All of them have cans in the hopper and the sold out tabs on the cradles are depressed. Any ideas? Title: Re: USS-8-64 top stack vending problem. Post by: tkaz on January 14, 2016, 12:12:33 am I'm trying to remember what the back of the vending stack looks like on the USS machines, I'm pretty sure that there are metal panels for each vending column that slide up and down as you rotate the vending cradle. Yours may need some lubrication, which would involve removing the stack from the machine which you'd have to remove the shelves and the two screws at the top of the stack.

Moving them back and forth let them vend. I wd-40 the sliding gate at the back of the stack and I'm good to go. Thanks for your help!
