its just a Harbor freight $15 job.

Thanks though. Its nice for "close" measurements, it isn't super accurate for machinist work.

Dr Galaga is my hero!
Not ONLY did he take the time to go and check out a "parts machine" for me, he found the motor I needed! And a very handsome price too! thank you for helping me stay within budget!
Check out the success video:

Yep, that's Yeungling's lesser known "Lord Chesterfield" brew!

I was able to set the machine to vend 12 ounce bottles. Now I am having a custom decal made by a sign make friend of mine for the light box!

THANK YOU DR GALAGA!

Yep, that's a pushbutton "free vend" button since the coin mech is what killed the vend motor, it apparently just kept sending power to the vend motor and it burned up. Now it will only vend when you ask it to. I used some gorilla tape to locate the magic pushbutton under the coin return plunger! that way I did not have to drill the machine in any way!
Now, you hit the coin return plunger and Presto! a cold beer!

Thanks to DR GALAGA for saving my machine!

Glad to hear that it worked for you. I'll try watching the video again later. I have the hardest time watching YouTube videos on my computers.

I just got back from DC and I bought back some Yeungling's Black and Tan for my parents!

 Good stuff!
Hey, that parts machine didn't have a good selectomatic knob on it did it? Mine has a huge chunk
Missing out of it.
Thanks

Nope. My machine has the push buttons.
