I was wondering if someone would mind explaining how the can vending stack on an Vendo Square top worked (like the slant shelf V-90 Can for example). That is, how you would use it to vend after inserting coins? I've seen them in pictures but I've never seen one actually being used.

Also, and this is probably a dumb question, but could the Vendo slant shelf cooling system be made to work in a Cavalier slant (or vice-versa)?

EDIT: Now that I think about it, I may have seen one in action, but I didn't seen enough detail to see for sure how the mechanism worked.

Well I'll take a stab at the question. Any luck others will correct my errors/omissions.

You insert a a coin. The coin makes it through the slug rejector. Has another successfull journey through the Coinco mech. This trips the rely on the vend stack to vend. Retrieve product. Cycle resets.
Many things can go wrong. If you do not have enough product in the racks, or not enough change in the Coinco the process will fail. If any part is dirty/corroded not going to work either.

Cooling systems are interchangeable to a point. Match the compressor to the size of the cooling area, check which side the cooling lines are mounted on in relation to your main door.
May be able to nudge a left side over to a right side or could bust a line and have a completely separate nasty problem to deal with.

I'm sorry, I guess I phrased my question wrong. I follow the coin insertion/validating process. How do you select and retrieve the product from vend stack to release it on an old Vendo can vendor? On the Cav USS, I know you turn the dial marked with you desired flavor, which moves a soda into the pull-out area. The Vendo stack looks like it works differently.

You just pull forward on the lever at the front of that selections slot, then a lever towards the rear of that column "slot" helps push the can forward so you can grab it. all the coinmech does is release the latch on the stack so you are allowed to pull just one of the selection levers at a time / per vending cycle.

Thanks johnnieG, I didn't think about the conversion working on a slant shelf, as my main interest in square top slant shelves up to now has been Cavaliers, which of course have different vend doors for CSS and USS, as well as different stacks and other differences. I'll look over the thread now.
