Title: Bottles won't pull out
Post by: on September 10, 2004, 05:49:39 pm
I have what I think is a Vendo 63 (square top coke machine with 7 slots for pull out bottles).   I've attached a picture -- not of mine, but one that looks exactly like mine)

 My dad gave this to me and the compressor/refrigeration works great ...   I set it up and at first it worked fine -- in fact it worked for weeks.  All you did was put in 45 cents pull out the bottle.   Today when I got  home from work I put in my money but there was no "CLICK" (that clearly audible indicator that the bottle latch thingies have been released).

I've tried unplugging it.   I've tried putting in unlimited amounts of change.   I just can't pull out bottles. :(    

Can anyone give me some troubleshooting or problem solving ideas.  I would really appreciate your help.

Thanks,  Michele

Go to the coinmech forum, & look at the top thread called "free play switch"  you can use this to help determine if it's the vending soliniod, or if the coinmech giving you grief....
