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
