What is this and a little help

[timsmore]

What do I have here?  Here is the information from the tag.

DNCB 168/99-6  PE2364

I got this machine on Sunday.  I seem to be able to only get the newer stuff.  We plugged it in before I left and all except the dirt seemed OK.  On Sunday I gave it a hosing and let it dry here in the desert for over a day.  When I plug it in now it trips the GFCI in my garage.  If I disconnect the plug for the fan all is well.  Also I left the fan unplugged long enough only to try out the lights.  I put new ones in and the first tripped the GFCI as the bulb blew and the second was really bright until it faded and blew.

#1 Where should I start to attack the electrical issue?  Is there a chance that the water may be somewhere?  I do not see any at all and things do dry pretty good given the chance here.

#2 Looking at the inside it seems that this machine could do both cans and bottles.  It does mention a PBR.   And there is a location for the bottle opener.  If bottles are an option is it only certain selections and what about the PBR?  Where can I find them?

Can you post a picture? From the model number, it might be a Dixie Narco.

Sorry now this is posted twice.  Maybe the big guys can remove the other one.

It does look like a Dixie Narco to me. I have one a little newer than yours, thats why I said it looks like one to me. Have you tried to plug it into an outlet without a GFI. I've seen some stuff that would run in a regular outlet but not in a gfi. Especially after hosing them down. Good luck, hopefully some else will have better info for you.

Timsmore,
You definately have a Dixie Narco machine. I ran across this eBay auction, which you might be interested in. It is for some DN manuals - Does not have your specific model listed, but might offer some insight into how the DN's operate.

OK I unplug the constant power cord for the fan and no problem.  Plug fan cord in and remove where it attaches, see picture--OK  No short within the plug recepticle.  Touch the terminal and instant power loss.
I would think this would be a simple short, atleast I hope.  The constant power leads go to here and then two wires go to the fan itself '>  '>

Not even close to the Behemuth CVC-223(78" tall).  Ths machine is only 57" tall 27" wide and 26" deep.  I figure if I can pull it off and get it to work it will be a perfect little match to sit beside my 58" tall VMC-77 bottle machine.  Oh yea, does anyone know what it takes if possible to get this machine to do some bottles and also cans?  WHat's the PBR and where can I find them if needed?

Thanks everyone.
