Title: Dixie Narco Machine
Post by: Flightfanatic on November 29, 2009, 08:31:10 pm
Hello, I recently purchased my first machine! I am very excited to have gotten it. It is a Dixie Narco DN-CB 240/138-6, 7up machine. Does anyone know what it is worth? (I am not interested in selling, just curious about the value). I am new with pop machines, do you have any suggestions how to maintain it, or any perticular ways to clean it? What year this machine was made? Does  anyone have a manual for this machine? I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks Alot!

Welcome to the board!!
Hot soap and water for the outside. Simple green for the vending racks. I can't help with the rest but I'm sure someone will chime in.

Hi Creighton,

Thanks for the reply! I scrubbed it down earlier today with simple green (I swear, that stuff gets out everything  :biggrin:). It got rid of all the grease at the bottom of the machine.

Hey Dillon,
Glad that worked. Bet the grease was 20 years of busted soda cans :-). Neglected to mention Dupont Polishing Compund will do wonders for the exterior paint. Good car wax after that.
Be forwarned 1 machine is generally only the start.

haha, yea. I'm considering buying another machine soon! I think I got lucky with this one, everything works inside (with being atleast 20years old).
