To all interested, I have sent an email and am waiting to hear the reply. The mech cost me $250.00 to get done a few months ago. I asked about a large one and he said $500.00. Sooooo...it is still on the garage. I also may try to restore one but not sure about getting the plating done. I am pulling my hair out trying to find a good chome plating shop.
I will let eveyone one know in a new "coin mech" thread. I don't want to keep hogging Markito's 110 thread.

Speed and sport chrome in Houston Tx. is where I send all my parts to be chromed. Craig @ 713-921-0235 Tell him Terry from Tehachapi, Ca, sent you. '>

We don't "chrome" a coin mech. Gold anodizing is what to look for!

I don't think anyone was talking about chroming a mech. I mentioned I was worried about finding a good gold plater (anodizing) as I was having a hard time finding someone local to do a good job chroming. I feel like there are more chrome shops than shops that will anodize...therefore finding someone to do goodwork may be hard for me.
Sorry for changing gears in the thread. jeff

Quote (90grad @ Aug. 12 2005,2:55) | 'kito,
The condensor fan should be sucking air through the condensor from the outside, not blowing through it. | That's what I thought too. I checked mine and the air is blowing from right to left. So instead of sucking air across the compressor, it is blowing it over it.
My hand noticed that and it seemed out of place. So I thought, great, I must have just flipped the fan blade over by accident. So I took it off and found that It can be mounted both ways. That fan's blade goes the opposite way of my other machine's blade. I even tried my V-216MD's motor and the motor goes the right way, but the blades are opposite between the two fans.
I guess I need a new fan blade that goes the right way. I REALLY hope the wind direction will make all the difference in making the cooling work.
I am getting SO frustrated. Every turn there is something keeping me from success. '>

So instead of sucking air across the compressor, it is blowing it over it. | The fan sucks air through the condensing coils toward the compressor, I think you are ok. If the machine cooled without that fan, it should cool now regardless of rotation. One thing to check for a "click" every 15 seconds or so. That is an overload relay that is turning your compressor on and off. It can't run long enough to do it's job.

Glen, thanks for the clarification on the fan. It's just that on my V-216MD, the air flows the opposite way.
So regarding: "One thing to check for a "click" every 15 seconds or so. That is an overload relay that is turning your compressor on and off. It can't run long enough to do it's job." What does that mean is wrong and what do I have to do to fix that?

Did you check the upper evaporator coil fan? This fan is the one that circulates the air in the "Product Compartment".
The next item to replace would be the T-stat.

O.k., so after a ton of frustration, it dawned on me... since they are almost identical, why not swap the entire excellent cooling unit in my V-216MD with my non-working unit in the V-110! So I swapped them out and now it is cooling really well in my V-110.
Yay!

Now on to my next question...
My V-110 is missing the metal pricing and instruction label that goes just above the crank on the V-110, so I called Fun-tronics to order a replacement. Well they have three similar, but different options depending on the vending price of your machine.
Since they were just $5 each and I didn't know which one I'd need, I bought all three. Now to figure out which one I really need for my exact machine.
*Dumb Question Alert* How can I tell what price my machine accepts since it currently doesn't work? Can you tell by the model? Can you even change the price on these old mechanicals? I know how to on the electrical Coinco's, but I don't know these very well.
Here are the labels:
