Title: vmc 33 Post by: zadd on January 19, 2009, 08:07:36 pm Tearing down the main door . How does the coin mech gear on the front remove from the drum rotator on the back of the liner ? I removed the three screws from the liner and it just spins ? Also what size clutch head screw driver do I need ? I'm sure I can figure it out thought I would ask . Just started the tear down so any advice or tips are appreciated . Thanks

Title: Re: vmc 33 Post by: collecture on February 01, 2009, 10:21:48 am Stupid question how does the crank handle remove? Same as any other - a pin is behind the crank and mech cover plate. On a 33, you can remove the cover plate screws and finagle the plate over the handle. The pin should be easily visible then. Title: Re: vmc 33 Post by: cokecolaman on February 01, 2009, 03:19:02 pm The best advice I ever received was take lots of pictures....I am not very mechanical, but with my digital camera, I took a picture every time I took something off and it should be no problem to put back together. If you need any pictures, you can email me at "cokecolaman" at comcast dot net. I just took apart a VMC 33 also, and I am sending it to my friend who paints and repairs cars.
Title: Re: vmc 33 Post by: zadd on February 01, 2009, 10:36:21 pm I was confused because I was looking at a second vmc 33 I have for parts and it was missing the crank handle but still had the backing plate left from the crank . So I thought the cank handle was seperate from the peice that slids on the shaft . The handle came off with no problem after figuring out where the pin was . Thanks
