  1. I took the fuse holder for the spin motor out. went to radio shack and purchased a larger higher amp fuse holder and used that inside the back i had to drill the round hole a little larger to fit the new larger fuse holder or go to granger and get a 30 amp fuse holder the stock ones only hold 5 to 10 amps and get hot

    Various Cranes in my routes
  3. picked one up cheap at a auction with my favorite words... broken... extra parts and a whole box of extra sticks as well 3,600 sticks $2.00 per vend costs you less than .10 cents it was complete minus a few missing bolts and a water tank original owner got rid of it because he could not find parts.... badly needing a deep deep clean 3 hours of hot water and rags cleaned it up and refilled the sugar tank Got into what was really wrong with the unit they had taken every panel off and etc.. First problem was a broken door flap motor they tried to fix.... and missing water tank It has a full test mode of every operation found that the 15 amp slow blow fuse one of four fuses on the back was the wrong fuse 15 amp fast blow. replaced the fuse with a 15 amp slow blow fuse and after 2 vends it popped again the fuse holder was hot and was blown it was too small and that fuse holder has a miniature fuses That fuse ran 4-6 motors including the cotton candy heating element and rotate motor 15 amps easy load It was made at the factory that way That's too much for one tiny fuse holder drilled the hole bigger and added a high amp fuse holder with a 15 amp slow-blow fuse Works great and stays cool. A UPGRADE I RECOMMEND TO ANYONE WITH THESE MACHINES.. NO PARTS AVAILABLE?? Went online to intermatic and clicked USA... place order got the water tank and door motor ordered in 5 mins payed with Paypal and $76.00 including shipping the parts are on their way. so i have less than $100.00 invested into repairs. I can see why people complain about this machine it requires you to clean it often and keep it clean most operators don't have access to hot water or sinks on locations so it does have some drawbacks I figured i would order a extra bowl, and lid for the cotton candy machine swap them to clean at the shop and the rest is windex... this should crank in some serious money bill sings some seriously weird songs in attraction mode

  10. could do what i do, i use .984 tokens... no reedemable for cash i set up a changer next to the machine for tokens no other machines around them use tokens so they only have one purpose to put back into the pusher and i dont use cash prizes.... i use gift cards and bling, i also use capsules with a winner of xx inside call the number you won a mp3 player etc.. or i leave the mp3 player with the store to hand out to winners.. there is no cash play and its for prizes only then.. bill
