Post by: kev_7680 on November 01, 2011, 05:02:34 pm
I just bought my first vintage coke machine.The fan on the bottom has a spout on top,when i open it it has oil in it.I assume this is for the gears.What type of oil is it and how full should it be...I checked the manual i have but couldnt find it anywhere.....thanks for your time....kevin

Kevin,
   Please don't quote me on this as I am by no means an expert in this area, but I believe the "spout" you're referring to is for lubricating the bearings on the fan motor.  It should not be "full" at all, but merely a spot to put a couple drops of oil every now and then so the bearings don't burn up.  I am certain someone that truly knows what they're talking about will chime in soon, so just be patient.
