Title: Choice vend cv157
Post by: on August 10, 2003, 06:52:44 pm
I just purchased a choice vend cv157.  It is in need of some repair,  Does anyone have any idea where I can find a manual or some technical description.  It will dispense can out of two of the slot. the other two just make a grinding noise.  I am also trying to find out whether or not it will dipense bottles.
thank for any help

Ah! another Choice-vend owner!  :p Hi & welcome to our website!, well I'm the proud owner of a Choice-vend CVC224/Pepsi myself, & have learned a lot in the way of repair & maintenanace of these little buggers! :angry: and I'm afraid you have some stripped gears in the coulmns that don't dispence, and yes, your machine can be set to vend ethier bottles or cans in any given column, I assume you have black nylon augers in single or double stack rows, I have some spare parts/assemblys that may help. fell free to Email me with any questions & I also have the gear setup sheet for allowing cans or bottles to vend (yours is supposed to be attatched to the inside of the vend door, post a picture & lets get this puppy working again, they're nice machines actually, just beaten up from service life usally.
