Eric, I have no clue as to where to PUT the elbow grease!  I know very little about soda machines (learning more every day!) and NOTHING about other types of vending machines.

ANY advice would be much appreciated.  I have been toying with pouring VERY HOT water through the mechanisms to really clean them out - my thought is that the water would evaporate very quickly.  And as both of the side vend ....  What do you think?

And, is it OK to use car wax on them?  The paint is in really good original condition, but it's a little dull.  What else?'<img'>?

Thanks in advance!  And, remember, it was $40 about 20 years ago.  That would make it not quite such a good investment, considering inflation and the like ....  '<img'>

Yep

Well done on buying that Candy Machine. I have now put three coin mechs through a dishwasher and on each occasion they have come out just fine. You might want to consider doing that with yours.

Shelly,
If you can separate the mech from the rest of the machine, then the boiling water should work fine for cleaning out all the gunk - maybe a couple of pours! I am sure though that there were a couple of spots that need a little grease or oil - nothing in the coin path though. Have you searched for a manual for it?

It is a really nice machine ... with one little problem.  It pre-chews the food for you.

Reminds me of a joke - yeah another!
An old woman sitting behind the bus driver keeps handing him peanuts as he drives down the road. After about four or five handfuls, the driver turns around and says "Lady - why do you keep handing me peanuts?" She say "My teeth can't handle them - they're too hard." The driver looks questionably at her and says "Then why do you buy them?"
She says "Oh, I just like the chocolate on the outside!" ':p'

OK, I loved the joke!  I'll have to pass that one on!

I would love to look for a manual for this little beauty, but I have no clue what I have.  There is absolutely no model number ... nothing other than the Kandy King logo on the front.

You know, the oil might cure the "pre-chewed" part.  What kind should I use?

You can get a food safe oil at most commercial kitchen supply stores if you think it will be in contact with anything dispensed; otherwise, a high grade no drip rifle oil or white lithium grease in some cases.

Well, I am just irritated.  The guy sold it out from under me yesterday.  I wonder what happened to ethics?
