Vendo 81 / Converted to Electric Mech.

[Creighton]

It's a pain, but one of those only do once deals. On my RT 56 (hope 81 is the same) you want the barrel at the bottom of the stack cranked to the right with a notch at about 2 oclock. Adjust the T so it lines up with the barrel and moves the barrel to the left for vend. Hope this helps.

You can make linkage adjustments through the circular access plates near the "T". Also, the linkage has a correct way to attach to the mech shaft.
Check that everything is connected correctly. A manual for the VMC-81 is available in the Downloads area also.

  A new vending cam spring did the trick and a little shot of WD-40 on the vending stack. The new spring was considerably shorter and much stiffer.  Vended perfectly every time manually.

 Unfortunately when operating the crank handle the internal portion inside the coin mech. moving.  When the crank handle is operated the "fingers" when removing   the slug look like they are moving at an angle instead of square.  There is also some kind of glue down there. 

  I think it's time for some TLC.  Dr.  Tom Barnes.. are you up for it?

  Good news is the vending stack is working...

  Thanks Again,

Pretty busy until probably mid-March, so enjoy the machine for a bit. You can send it anytime you want though. Thanks!
