Need help with cavalier uss 8-64

[kebn123]

  I just purchased this machine for 125 . I have learned it is a cavalier uss 8-64 . It gets cold. Its very quiet. its also mising 2 trays and two spacers. Or i assume it is missing them. I figured there should be eight it has six. The coinco s75 9400b appears to be broken. and there is a chain laying in the back of machine thats connected at the bottom behind all the racks.  I i dont see where the money you put in should go. plus there is no chute or anything where your change should fall. I assume the bulb is burnt out. I havent a clue where to start first on fixing this thing. I dont know which coin mechs are compatible with this machine. I cant seem to be able to find the exact one thats in there online anywhere. Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

    Thanks Kevin

Welcome!  I have a few of these machines, they seem to multiply very quickly!  There should be 8 shelves like you said, I have a couple of extras, but I don't think that I have the spacers, I'll have to look around.

There should be a spring that attaches to the chain on the back of the machine, is the entire chain on the bottom, or just the small part of it?  I have attached a photo to show what it looks like. 

There is also a photo of the inside of the coin door, which shows what you might be missing for comparison.  Try searching for a s75-9800B for the coin mechanism, that is the one that will work for you.  There are some folks here that usually have them for sale...I'm sure they'll chime in.

Thats a good deal you got on a first machine, I have one that I use about everyday.

I also have a few shelves but am also not sure if I have spacers. Let me know if you need them.

Kevin,

Welcome to the site.  The USS-8-64 was my first machine--woodgrain Coca Cola version.  Great machine as it can vend just about anything.  I use mine every day.  The spacers are not as inportant as the spacers.  I have all the spacers for mine but it will vend fine without them as long as you are careful to line up the bottles/cans/plastic when you load the machine.

The first of many!

...The spacers are not as inportant as the spacers.

So are the spacers important?

They are important, but not as important as being important

  Hey, give me a break guys!    It was a long day yesterday!  But, I guess it would be kind of hard to load those bottles/cans/plastic on the spacer without the shelf! 

Of course, that machine with a complete set of spacers and shelves could bring $6-7,000!  I have seen it on E-Bay!

This dimonstraits that it is inportant to pruf reed yur posts!

Thanks for all the input. The pics of the inside of door helped. I do believe I need alot of bottle caps though. Lol.
Was wondering. Will it still vend if I get it working without all the shelves in. I plan on dismantling it this weekend. Cleaning it and taking lots of pics.

It will vend without all of the shelves. Hope the cleanup goes well.
