I am the proud owner of this V-90 now! Now I need some help....
Im going to pick it up tomorrow (4hr drive to tampa). What do I need to do? You guys mentioned to have them plug it in in advance and have it running for at least 8 hrs before I arrive. What happens when I am picking it up? Just unplug it and lay it on the trailer even though its cold?
Anyone who can give advice in this whole transaction process would help greatly. I know you guys said to try to support the compressor at the bottom of the machine when I lay it on the trailer.
Also, a couple of silly questions...does this thing run on a standard plug or is some higher voltage of some sort? With that said, to have this plugged in and running constantly, is my electricity bill going to go up much?
Give me the full run down fellas! All advice welcome!!!
-Ryan

I can answer some of that, Ryan. Congrats on the new purchase!! It will be the first of more than one, I'm sure! The 8 hours of running is to make sure it's working right when you get there to inspect it. It's no problem unplugging it and taking it with you, cold or otherwise. It operates from a normal plug, 110 Volts, and shouldn't cost you much more to run (I've heard $10-20 Per month at most). Supporting the compressor during transport just protects it from damage. You will get plenty of good advice from this board, just ask away! And welcome to the club!  |

I'm so out of my league here but I'm having a blast. I have no clue how to do any work on these machines. I have no idea how to take anything apart in them. Oh well, I have to figure it out at some point. I figure I may as well just dive right in. So I'll go pick it up tomorrow afternoon and assuming it is what the seller claims it is, I'll be very happy. Someone mentioned to take the racks out of the machine for transport. Why should I do that? and how do I do that?
Thanks!

They were talking about the shelves. They just lift out. Other than that if the compressor is supported, you are fine. Bring a few blankets with you. I like to put a small piece of plywood down and then a blanket. That way when the machine is on its back, it just slides in. Congratulations!  |

All of these comments are very helpful. Im going to take a dolly with me tomorrow to wheel the machine to the trailer. I'll lay her down gently, strap it to the trailer, and bring her on home. Keep the comments and advice coming. I don't wanna overlook something that I should be sure to do. Thanks! (as you can probably tell, I'm like a giddy little school boy right now with this whole thing)

Ryan,
Take lots of pictures when you are tearing down the machine. That way, you can always go back and look at things when you are trying to reassemble. Also, ziploc baggies are great to store parts. Label each bag with what's in it and where it goes. I also make some sketches as I do a tear down, so I can make notes. Have fun!

Don't worry about taking them apart and putting them back together again....If I can
do it anyone can...and I really do mean that....
Congrats and may this be the first of many..

I'm not sure how much disassembling will take place. It is in pretty good shape, and I have no clue what I would do to it if I was going to do any "refurbishment."
A few questions..
1) where can I buy glass coke bottles?
2) the price reads 25cents, can I change that label somehow and also change the coin mech to charge less for a coke?
3) the logo in front of the light has faded in the center, anyone have a replacement for that? i think its glass.
I'll attach some pictures.
Thanks!
-Ryan

A few questions..
1) where can I buy glass coke bottles? -
Sam's Club carries them as well as flvors of Crush, and IBC flavors. cheaper than ther 3.99 a six pack the supermarkets here charge.
2) the price reads 25cents, can I change that label somehow and also change the coin mech to charge less for a coke?
Check Funtronics, or Soda Jerks Works, both have ads here. Couple bucks for a new foil decal. What type coin mech?
3) the logo in front of the light has faded in the center, anyone have a replacement for that? i think its glass. i believe Funtronics has a repro. And there a recent post where a new marque was done, and it looked killer. If you are creative and patient, that's an option. And congrats, for the first score you did well! |
