Title: Parts list for Vendo 81? What to look for that's missing?
Post by: jltskfl on June 07, 2017, 07:40:46 pm
Hello.

I'm looking to pick up an 81 this weekend, and I've never owned a machine before.

What parts should I be looking for that might be missing?  Is there a diagram or parts list someone has made for these?

I've searched around but don't see what I'm looking for.

Thanks.

Thanks.

I'm looking for things that I might miss as a newbie.  Like sliders on the shelves that I just learned about today.  Also unknown is the total amount of little drip pans and coin boxes.

The rest is looking complete.  I'm mostly concerned with items that cannot be purchased anywhere.

Thanks!

There is always someone selling those little parts...I wouldn't worry about it for a Vendo 81.

Looks like the Coin box (Black box ) on coin door is there as well as the Metal cap catcher box .

I don't see the dip pan (Can be Bought ) Correction !!! drip tray is in the inside below the bottle stack !!

Other then the Slides on the shelves Id Say its Complete :)

       To remove an 81 compressor the kick plate must be removed. This kick plate has been removed and is hanging on the shelves, Why?  You should verify cooling.
Take an extension cord with you in case the wiring is bad. Coming out of the compressor is a short 110V plug you need to connect to power. This will bypass the old wire harness and should fire up just the compressor and it's fan motor. Watch for ice to form on the evaporator or for the condenser to get warm.
