Title: Pictures of my machine and questions Post by: on December 16, 2006, 12:56:06 pm The are some pics of my Vendo 63C here:
http://new.photos.yahoo.com/ssekaz/album/576460762372552006 I think it should clean up pretty nicely. Now let the questions begin! Where can I find a replacement lock? I tried a lock from an arcade game and one from Home Depot and neither one was the right size. Does anyone sell reproduction parts for these machines? The lever that holds the bottle in the window has a roller on it for the bottle to slide on when you dispense it (I'm sure it has a name). A couple of my slots are missing the roller. Where can I find them? Is there an easier way to get to the lightbulb other than through the hole at the top of the vending window? Does the bulb screw in or push and twist? How many watts? More questions to follow. Thanks for any help. Title: Pictures of my machine and questions Post by: collecture on December 16, 2006, 02:03:26 pm Both Fun-Tronics and Soda Jerk Works sell parts for the machines. They are both sponsers of this site. I am not sure how much they have for the square corner machines, but I think they both are getting more and more into reproducing 60's machine parts since they are more affordable.
I would bet Fun-Tronics or Soda Jerk Works would have the lock. Your best bet for the bottle gate (roller lever) might be somebody here on the site if they have a trashed stack. The light bulb socket assembly should just pull right from the back. Replace the light and clip it back in - I think it is just a 4W bulb. Looks like your machine is in nice shape and will look nice when refurbished. Title: Pictures of my machine and questions Post by: johnieG on December 16, 2006, 02:10:37 pm Nice!
Yes, there is an easy way to get at the lamp for the bottle door, take a small flat srcew driver & carefully pry around the diameter of the socket from the back side of the front door, it is held in by little spring-clips, it will pop right out.

Buy the brighter "nightlight" bulbs which are 7 watts. You may need to go to a hardware store (I get mine at Menards) for these. Don't buy the 4 or 5 watt ones that most places (Walgreens, supermarket, etc.) carry. Title: Pictures of my machine and questions Post by: cvb141 on December 17, 2006, 11:46:59 am Nice machine.
