Sorry for creating a new thread but I figured it might get a quicker response. Has anyone removed the bottle guide frame from a Westinghouse 102? The manual says it's attached by 8 screws to the liner and once you remove these, it should simply slide towards you and come out. I just wanted to make sure these 8 screws were all that are required before I get started and find out there is something else attached.

If it's anything like the 78 frame, make sure you have the wiring off the sold out circuit and I believe that you can pull out the bottom bottle guide which makes pulling it out easier (if you're pulling everything out).  Also, make sure you have a buddy, they are not light.

I had a feeling the wiring may have been a problem but wasn't positive. I'll have to give it a shot, need to find ways to procrastinate studying for finals

you have to take the vending motor & bottom bottle delivery/selection rack assembly  and links of course out first, then the wiring harness for the empty switch, the top bottle columns & take note as mentioned before, IT IS HEAVY ( it's a lot of sheet metal) & it has some nice & nasty sharp edges here & there too.

I know I've already gotten the "this thread is worthless without pics" but I'm going to have to ask another question without some. In my defense I don't have a camera or phone that could upload them to the computer. Anyway, there are 4 brackets that the rack is mounted to. The manual says remove the 8 total screws (2 per bracket) but I also noticed that there is another screw (4 total) that seems to be connected to the outsides of the rack. Does anyone know what removing these screws does?

The only reason I ask is because to remove the delivery section, it seems like I'll need a deep socket wrench which I don't have with me.
