WB-60 Info/Help Needed

[sparky]

Finally started on getting my westinghouse WB-60 cleaned up and in operation.  Mine has obviously seen a rough life.  I need lots of help with how the machine mechanics should be put together.   '>   

The microswitch that stops the vend motor is hanging loose and there is no obvious marks that indicate where it should mount.  A picture would be a great help.

The selector linkage from knob to right angle bracket on door has been cobbled.  A picture of the connecting rod and/or dimensions would help.

It appears the selector linkage should connect to the "V" slot in the center of the carriage but mine is just hanging close by with no obvious clips.  Again a picture would be great.

The start/run capacitor for the compressor is also hanging loose.  Where should it be mounted?

All the insulation around the compressor is filthy and falling down.  What type of insulation is best to replace it with?  Has anyone glued foam in place instead of the fiberglass?  Where is a good place to buy the insulation and glue to install?

I think I have more than used up my quota of questions for one post.  In case you can't tell this is my first attempt at trying to revive a soda machine.   '> Pictures of someone's machine would be fantastic and any help would be greatly appreciated.

I can provide any pictures you need, Sparky.  My machine is still dissassembled but I took a bunch of pictures while I was taking it apart.  Or I could snap the photos from my WC78 that is still in one piece (for now  '> ).

You are talking about the Multi-Drink machine with the selection dial, right?  Do you have the manual for it?

This tells an obvious story. The compressor was not
working,so the previous owner had to bypass these two
items to connect direct.  My guess is the compressor did
not start so the parts were left hanging. Bad compressor

Sparky - I hope these help.  Let me know if you need more.

Here's the carrier switch:



and the linkage:




Is this what you were looking for?

Bob,

Thanks for the pictures of the microswitch and the linkage.  they are exactly what I am looking for and they really help.   '>

No, I don't have a manual.  do you have one or know where I can get one?  It would help alot since I am new at this.

Moondawg -- Actually the compressor does run.  It looks like the run capacitor has just been laying on the bottom of the cabinet.  I think it should be mounted somewhere but don't know where.  thanks for the reply.

Oh, if it's a 3 in 1 capacitor, it was not original equipment so you
have the opportunity to mount it anywhere you want.

Sparky - is this the picture you need per your PM?



Let me know if you need more.

Bob,

That picture help me straighten out the linkage.  Thanks.  

Can you measure the length of the linkage rod from the arm on the selector knob to the "L" shaped bracket on door.  This is the one you previously sent me a picture of.  My machine has a piece of stiff wire in place of the rod so I need to fabricate a new rod.

Is there any place I can get a manual for this machine?  I am sure I will need information to help me set up all of the mechanics if I dissamble to clean/refurbish/lube.  I would hate to rely on my memory and pictures I take.  As I get older I find my memory is not as good as it used to be and even when I was younger and overhauling engines I always seemed to end up with spare parts.   '>

Your pictures are really good.

Sparky,

On the home page here at SMC you'll see a link for parts suppliers.  The first two are Funtronics (Steve Ebner), and The Soda Jerk Works (Steve Jebb).  Contact them for a manual - I'm sure I got mine from one of them.

I'll get you that measurement.

Can you post a picture of your machine?
