Title: HELP! Whats this part?
Post by: Netminder8 on December 07, 2013, 03:40:41 pm
I am restoring my first vending machine and of course I can't figure out where this part goes. I believe it has something to do with the door but can't figure out where and how to mount it. Any suggestions? The model number is USS-8-64K DP  April 1972 model. I believe this is a Cavalier 64 unless I was given the wrong information.

          It mounts in the main door, separates the coin door from the sign.

Yep. And I think you need to flip it over.

I just finished this exact machine. If you have any questions feel free to message me. It was my first restoration too, so I took a ton of pics.

Are you talking between the Dr Pepper sign and the coin door? I tried to take a picture for you to see

Looks right, do the screw holes on the sides line up?

yup now I see it. Only thing is it seems REALLY tight like I'm going to scratch the paint if I force it.

Put a couple pieces of painters tape above and below where it bolts in, then jimmy it into place.
