Title: My new find!
Post by: Chris on November 07, 2010, 06:21:06 pm
Here is my new find for today. It's an original Vendo 80. The compressor works and it vends. The guy changed the coin mech so it would vend for .25 so I will need an original coin mech if anyone has one.  I only paid $400.

Your coin mech is adjustable. There are dip switches behind the slug rejector that change the price. I think there is a how to under the coin mech section

Cool Thanks you just saved me $300.  :biggrin:

The door latch is also broken if anyone has 1 they can let go of.

$300 for a V-80 mech?? You are grossly misinformed!! I just bought a working vintage 10c NRI 7600 mech for $20 (shipped) off eBay.
What is wrong with the door latch?? Main door or coin door??

The main door latch is broken so it won't stay closed.  I was going by the coin mech for my c-144.  But I am having a hard time finding anything for that machine.

What part of the assembly is broken? I think there are three major parts to it.

I was going by the coin mech for my c-144.  But I am having a hard time finding anything for that machine.

What is the problem there? Won't the mech from the V-80 work in it? It shouldn't cost $300 for any electric mech - most are interchangable with one another - $50 at most!
