Title: One of us should get it... Post by: jbachman2 on August 27, 2012, 01:42:14 pm It's way too far away for me but a machine this nice should go to a collector.

Title: Re: One of us should get it... Post by: darrelcraig on August 27, 2012, 10:21:13 pm Man I love the Westinghouse Select-O-Matics. I have a 102 and want the other three. A local guy has the 78 for sale for $550 in poor shape. I sent him a bunch of links trying to politely convince him it isn't worth that...and tossed him an offer of $100-$150, but he hasn't replied...probably made him mad :down: but I had to try.

Like everyone else has said, those vend motors make or break a machine. Really is amazing there hasn't been a replacement made in all these years, they would certainly have some buyers. I've actually rigged mine to vend by turning a knob (will post pictures when completed) to bypass my broken motor but still, such a pain Title: Re: One of us should get it...

Post by: davin72 on September 02, 2012, 11:15:19 pm Tkaz did a post on rebuilding a vend motor for westinghouse machine check it out Rebuilding a Westinghouse WC Vend Motor The motor he did was a totally different brand that everyone else has. Thats why the rest of us havent been able to rebuild ours. I wish I could rebuild mine. Title: Re: One of us should get it... Post by: Pat Pixley on September 02, 2012, 11:31:18 pm Yeah just took a look :oops: well have to keep your eye's open for a parts machine . :Oo:
Title: Re: One of us should get it... Post by: Jim on September 04, 2012, 11:39:43 am I'm in the same boat...
I have a WC-60 with a seized motor! I've been trying to fee things up to no avail... I may just cut the gear case open and go from there... Title: Re: One of us should get it... Post by: davin72 on September 04, 2012, 03:32:29 pm If anyone ever finds a replacement I bet they could sell 10 or 20 in no time flat. Id be first in line. I love my 102 but now its just sitting in storage.
Title: Re: One of us should get it... Post by: Tomahawk27 on September 04, 2012, 10:22:14 pm Seriously, forget about my college classes and future job, I'm going to create a replacement motor and make millions lol.
Obviously a machine is less desirable without the vend motor but like I said, I'll post pics/directions how to make it functional without one. Until I find a motor somewhere or a parts machine, its the best I can do. I bought it, might as well use it |
