Hello-
New to the forum. Just got a Vendo 56 Coke machine.
And I am trying to get her up and running again.
It has been in storage for at least 40 years. Always stored in doors...so its not rusted at all. It was in my Grandfathers auto shop in the early 60's and when they closed the shop (late 60's) my father put it in storage.

Ooops...hit return to soon. Anyway...I plugged it in and the fans definately still work...but it doesnt cool anymore. It also makes a "clicking" sound every 20-30 seconds. Like something is trying to come on..but doesnt. Any suggestions?
I will take some "before" photos tonight and post them up.
Thanks.
Jason

You have one of the most sought after machines!
Yeah... we're gonna need pictures of that classic!

I bet that is your compressor trying to start. Get a new wiring harness, and a 3 in 1 start/run capacitor. While you are at it, I would replace the fans.

Either Fun-Tronics or Soda Jerk Works (both are sponsors of this site). There are banners displayed on the home page and listed under the Parts Suppliers.

Yes - there are two ways.
One is to make it to where you have to crank it over, but no coins are involved. If you can take a pic of your mech with the rejector removed looking down on the coin block? I'll draw on your pic and repost it. You can send me a pic directly if you wish.
The other way is to make it to where you can just pull the bottle out regardless of whether you crank the handle.
