  1. nevermind.. it is a max and I can't upload anymore.. ohh well
  2. so it was a wire broke. The ziptie that they used at the factory was so tight that it caused the wire to bend too sharply every time the drawer was pulled out. Anyway, the wire broke so close to the plug that i can't fix the break. Anyone know where to get a plug/pigtail like this one? I will have to upload the pics individually since there is a file size limit
  3. Luckily the account isn't super worried about those selections at the moment, I do however try and keep things operational at all times. I revisited the machine and noticed that every selection ending in "3" had a green wire with a white stripe. This wire is bundled into the harness coming from the bottom shelf and ends up plugging into the control board. I swapped motors on each selection that ended in 3 and inspected each shelf for broken or damaged green/white wires and made sure each of the terminals was pushed in deep enough in their respective harness plugs. My next step will be to test continuity on the green/white wire where it plugs into the board and ending at each of the 3 ending motors. If there is continuity at each of those I would then suspect that the control board would be the culprit. I do have a second identical machine at this location, and if the wires do test good, I think I might temporarily swap the boards to see if that makes everything better. Do any of you see any issue with my logic with this problem? This has been a very strange issue that I have never dealt with.
  4. Hey, I have a 3508 snack machine that is doing something that I haven't dealt with before. Every selection that ends with 3 will not vend or test vend (13, 23, 33, 43 and 53). I know its not the key pad because all of the selections that begin with 3 all vend perfectly. When I just thought i was dealing with one bad selection I swapped motors with another position and the problem persisted even with a different motor. I'm a little stumped, any ideas?
  5. he sounds to me like someone who might have an interest in selling or at least make these machines look good, that's why I asked how much he sold them for. And yeah if a machine is impressive by working good for 2 months, then vending is for sure not going to be profitable at all, because equipment is way to expensive to be disposable.
  6. Here's what I did with mine when I got fed up . It really felt good to vent my frustrations on it. If one or both of them keep giving you fits, I would recommend you do the same. http://vendiscuss.net/index.php?/topic/17329-found-a-great-location-for-my-office-deli-combo-machine/
  7. the 501e is much much more valuable machine than that old single price machine, I would recommend getting a validator for the 501e for sure. It should be a 10 minute fix.
  8. AZ, thanks, thats the piece of the puzzle that I was missing. I didn't know what switch the diagram was referring to. Thats why I was asking earlier if it needed to be momentary or what. Now that I see that its meant to be used with a dixie selection switch, its very simple, Thanks much!!
  9. I assume the normally closed yellow (pin 3) would be wired to the common directly, then momentarily connecting (or closing) purple (pin 7) would activate the credit, but I would like verification before I short something out.
  10. Ok, to activate the credit are you momentarily opening the yellow (pin 3) or are you momentarily closing purple (pin 7)? or are you momentarily connecting them all together? If you are momentarily connecting all 3 together then when you release the switch, which wire or wires are being disconnected? Thanks guys.
  11. Hi, everyone. I want to make a cheater cord to help to diagnose single price soda machines quickly. I have found a pdf on how they wire up. I see that its a very simple wiring diagram, but I think the instructions do a lousy job of explaining how the actual switch wires up. I don't know which wire or wires actually activates the credit, and I don't know if it needs to be a momentary switch or just an on off switch.
