Vendo 39 - Basket Release Wire and more...

[Bigtonka]

Hi all,

This past week I finally purchased my first coke machine, a Vendo 39.  I have been on the hunt for almost 12 years for a 39 or 44 in my price range, and when this one became available I jumped!

The machine came as you see it, with no coin mech.  It also came with a bag of parts - one of which is the indexer, and the other a Basket Release Wire.

I'm trying to determine what I need to get this thing fully functional again, and vending.  I will eventually post in the Swap area a call for a coin mech and other parts I need.

For now, I'm trying to understand where this basket release wire is installed - anyone have photos???

Thanks,
Mark

Welcome to the site!
Sorry I can't help with the 39 - haven't added one of those to the collection yet - but I love the wire rack! 

I assume it came from somewhere in Canada since it is in French?  I've been looking for a decent condition wire rack for a while, nice to see confirmation that there are still some out there.

Yes, it's a Canadian machine.  The buttons all in English, not even sure if there were French ones!  But yes, the rack French for sure - and that's a sticker posted over more French writing, advertising a specific price.  When I went to but the machine he had the rack next to it, and just threw it in.

Mark,

I had a 39 manual at one time.  I can't seem to find the manual on my jump-drive.  If I can find it I will send you a PDF copy.

Had a look off the main page - and can't find a "Downloads" section...  the "Login" functionality on the main page doesn't recognize my username / pw...  Need I be logged in to see this Download section?
