MidStateVending

Of course I don't know about the "location" but if it has one of these combo machines, it tells me that it is not doing much volume... but you seem like a smart person so just 'buyer beware'. On the positive side, the parts from these combos are so rare that they go for a lot on eBay (for example). You could get good money for the compressor, validator, coin mech, keypad, boards, shims, and on rare occasions the motors.

Thank you! I have always wondered how these drinks (normally) never freeze. I never seen a heater though so maybe the fan is enough in the south. I appreciate the information!

Here is the outside sticker. One thing that is odd is that the drinks only froze when it got down into the 20s for several nights. But now the drinks are not frozen at all with this warmer weather (TN). I am curious if the machine is not keeping the drinks above freezing this year for some reason (its an outside machine)?

The way I tested it is that when I turn the knob, either way, the compressor always stays on. Also, all my cans froze and blew up.

Very strange... there are Dixie Narco stickers on this machine, but everything tells me it is Royal Vendors (see pictures)... of course the 'model" label has been since ripped off from its rivets.

I assumed they were the same thing... but I trust your expertise more than me.... Please enlighten me... Picture included

Thermostat?

You are going to get a lot of haters out there... but trust us... the Go-127's are plentiful but you will be fixing them more than filling them. So much pain and the parts are scarce.

I need a replacement thermostat for a Royal Vendors drink machine, but they appear to be difficult to find. The wholesale vending part stores in Nashville don't have them, nor does eBay. Could I use any 2-pin refrigerator thermostat?

I'd be grateful if you could tell me what those dip switch settings are (high acceptance). I have looked all over the internet and even called the biggest vending supplier in Nashville... no one knows. Again, its the 2511 U3. Side note, your contributions to this board have been amazing... thank you so much!

Did you resolve your issue? I have the same machine, same problem. Mars 2511, trc6000 coin mech, swapped out all the harnesses except for the coin mech to main board harness. I am going to try a 3rd replacement on the bill validator this Friday though.

Where do you send off coin mechs and bill validators? I have shelves full of them.

I have a VN 2501 U3, that is not pulling bills all the way in. It tries, but is unable to pull it all the way. Is there a quick fix for this? I tried cleaning the belts.

Service call? Then why do we need this forum? I for one would go out of business if I never learned to fix my own machines.

Thank you! I never heard of these.... but YouTube was helpful in explaining its operation and how easy these are actually to remove with the right tool.
