Title: Broken vending thingy needed. Post by: cokentn on May 31, 2010, 07:10:31 pm (http://soda-machines.com/g2/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=5759&g2_serialNumber=3&g2_GALLERYSID=357f94f593ac53be55188b6351bd285a)
SEE PREVIOUS DISCUSSION HERE: http://soda-machines.com/discussions/index.php/topic,7683.msg57505.html#msg57505 (http://soda-machines.com/discussions/index.php/topic,7683.msg57505.html#msg57505) Ok, so I finally took this off and found that what is broken is a little white plastic piece. Part of the top is gone that acts as a brake. I hate not knowing what these things are called. It's some sort of braking mechanism as described in the original post linked above. Does anyone know where I can get one of these lil white pieces? I've looked around my community and met some, ahem, interesting folks, but nobody wants to part with any part of their machine. Thanks!

You may also wish to look over at www.VEII.com (http://www.VEII.com) they have parts for more "modern" machines, but you may find a vending motor that's close to yours, PS... you never mentioned WHAT machine you are dealing with, this sites a little light in the mind-reading talent department... :tounge: Title: Re: Broken vending thingy needed.

Post by: johnieG on June 01, 2010, 10:23:36 pm Yep it is a Cornelius, it shares it's vending motors with early Narcos (Dixie-Narcos) it's a line-voltage motor assembly (120-volts A.C.) & the Narcos's brake assembly should bolt right onto yours, or you could just swap the whole motor, providing you can find one from a "doner" machine, good hunting!
PS in the mean time move the de-funct motor assembly to the last selection position & mark that button "out of Order" so at least you may still use the rest of the machine... Here's a link to vendingsupply inc. they have some simular motor assemblys that you may be able to use with some modifications...http://partsvending.vendingworld.com/motors.php (http://partsvending.vendingworld.com/motors.php) |
