Title: Vendo 44 Rocker Arms Done for cans.....
Post by: Funtronics on May 23, 2010, 07:59:07 pm
Good news guys. I have finally got the Vendo 44 rocker arms done. Just take out your old ones and put in these new ones and it will vend cans. They are made out of stainless steel.  They were not cheap to have made. That is why the price is $82.50 for a pair. I tested them and they work great. The only thing is that when it gets down to the last two cans it will vend both of them, because there is no weight to hold the second can in. They should be up on our web sight this week. If anyone wants a set, just give Janet a call.  :happydrinkers:

Thats FANTASTIC! I will second Signguy's Statement. Thank you for all that you do for this hobby and thank you for being a part of this site as well. It is great having your information and knowledge on SMC as well as to keep up on what is needed to be made. I don't know what this hobby would do without Funtronics!

Rod,

Has there been a big request for this type of modification...?
Could this type of mod be utilized in the V-80, V-144, and V-216...?

Just thinking out loud... Could be cool to have decent VMC 144 Three Select that could vend cans, set the mech at .75 and sell Coke, Diet, and Sprite! The nostalgia machine would attract and entice people to buy, and they will!

Jim,
The machines you mention utilize rollers and not rockers. I know there are adjustments you can make to the rollers and I am pretty sure Glen (Moondawg) has said that they can vend cans with a little fiddling.
