Victor coke machine

What you have is a Tecumseh AJ series compressor. All of the electrical is inside that large lid on the front of the compressor. If you remove the cover and look on the back side, there is a wiring diagram showing the L1 and L2 leads (power in). Use the pig tail I sent, with the plug on the end, and wire it where the diagram shows. Also wire the fan motor, compressor side, in the same spot. If it is wired correctly, you should be able to plug the pig tail into an extension cord and the unit will fire up. When that works, now plug into the wiring block, I sent, and from there the compressor will fire up using the thermostat. Take care in reading the diagram. It really shouldn't be a major problem. '>

I also have a Vendo 63.  The door isn't shutting snuggly (need some handle hardware) and the lock is missing the bottom nut (I think it fell in cap box and got thrown out).  Know where I might be able to get parts?  Local hardware store doesn't seem to carry the correct sizes. Judy

Hi Judy,
I probably have a spare nut for the lock that you can have.
If you can discribe the other parts you need, there are a few people parting out machines that might have what you want.
I'll PM you with information.

Gardengirl, Vendobaldtops is parting out a V-63 machine.

Well, I finally have gotten my Victor machine properly wired!  The compressor fan now only runs when the compressor is on!   '>

I have an additional question though.  Seems I have to keep the thermostat somewhere between 0 and 1 to keep the temperature between 38-45.  It takes a lot of tweaking by gently bumping the thermostate up/down.  The guy who did the wiring for me suggested that I get an enclosed thermostat and mount it at the bottom of the machine.  Right now the it's mounted near the top of the machine and I had to drag the probe down toward the bottom.  

Just wondered if it'd be worth it to try this!
