Just picked this machine up 10minutes from my home. Machine looks complete but I am not 100% sure since I have never owned one before or seen one in person. It came with 15 small spacers, 2 long back spacers, and a mech full of nickles. It has a light up panel and the ID tag reads 55D. Any idea how I need to assemble the inside so it can start vending POP, Bottles or Cans??

Thanks

The spacer(s) location all depends on what size bottles you are going to vend. I noticed from your pictures that the bottle loading instructions have been removed from the main door liner.

If you are going to use 10 or 12 oz. bottles, no sweat. The spacers can be set up for those no problem. If you plan on vending the small 8 oz Coke bottles, that's another story. You will have to add a few additional left/right spacers to make up for the smaller diameter bottle that Coke is using now.

For 10oz & 12oz bottles, set the back spacer in the rear notch. If for some reason there is a lto of slop from front to back you can move the spacer forward a notch it goes in 3/8" increments. You should have approx. 1/4" of clearance over the entire length of the bottle.

For 10oz bottles you will most likely have to use a left & right side spacer. For 12oz bottles you more than likely won't have to use a spacer. I experimented with mine to find out the best side spacer combinations.

If you PM MCarter, he might be able to help you with some side spacers if you need them.

They reproduce the light up panel. To vend cans I had to play with the spacers to get the right combination on the 55D I restored a few months back. Victor if you don't get it let me know and I'll get the info. when I can.

Thanks for the tips Guys!

I have not had time to play with it yet but based on what I have read and your info looks to be complete, keys and the compressor is extremly quit!. In my Small 2 years of buying machines, this is the first 55 Cav I have come accross in the BayArea. And for 150.00, I think it was a great buy!

If I can sell most of these parts I am open to parting this thing out.

Let me know if anyone needs something, since it is complete.


Thanks

Darn shame to part that out. What do you want for it? Send me a PM, Thanks!

Give you 100 bucks for the vend motor. )That is only thing i need to finsh my machine. Please Help !!!!

MCarter, If you have the old motor you can have it rewound for less than that. Take it to an alternator shop or an electric motor repair place.

My vend motors got wet a some point in time and rusted out on the bottom. Can't fix this !!

I see that you put the machine on Ebay. So are you not wanting to sell me the vend motor now? LMK

I am trying to sell the machine complete, if I can. If it does not sell, I need to be able to sell most of the parts. So far you are the only person looking for parts. I do not want to be stuck with a Cava 55 that is missing only a vend motor.

I am open to parting it out put need to sell most of the parts.

I will let you know.

Thanks

No Problem i totally understand
