Title: Do these relays look ok? (56k warning)
Post by: Pixel on October 14, 2013, 03:16:52 pm
I've figured out how to get my Choice Vend relay box apart (silly me, it wasn't that hard  :upside:). I've taken some pictures, and I was hoping someone would look them over for me to see if they still look like they're good. I don't have any way to test the box, as I took the machine to the scrapper a long time ago. It seemed like it was trying to work when I tried it on the machine. The helix drive assembles were apparently in too big a mess to really test it though.

I could not get the pics small enough to fit, so I've hosted them on Flickr. Hopefully this will work out. I placed the box on the front counterweight of a Belarus tractor to take the pictures. If I posted them to show up directly, they'd be way too big for the forum's formatting, so I'm hoping johnnie will cut me some slack for just linking them.

I can take some more pictures if needed. (EDIT: Took pictures of relay contacts.) It needs a cleaning, I know that. I've held onto this thing for quite awhile. I don't expect I'll ever get another Choice Vend.

They all look like there in good shape.

Looks like it's new. Can't see anything wrong, wiring looks good.
