ztraeger Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 I own a Savamco Mac-22, which I've also seen listed as a Fro-Mac Snack/Drink Vending Machine. Mine is Grey/Black and it seems schematics for the machine are lost due to the company no longer existing. It's intermittently not accepting cash and sometime will only accept up to 2 dollars. It has worked completely at various times. I've got an electrical engineer friend who offered to look at it, but documentation is really hard to find. We've already replaced the coin-co bill acceptor, checked the DIP switches, made sure change was in the reserve.... at kind of a loss unless we could get our hands on some more info... Is it going to be possible to find schematics? Is there a solution we might be overlooking? Should I bite the bullet and buy a new control board on ebay? There is one currently listed for 350 Should I totally scrap the machine and purchase something different? There is an AP snakshop 112 on my local craigslist that the person is asking 750 for but I probably could talk him down a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southeast Treats Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 I would probably vote to scrap it. The board you are looking at is rebuilt at best, untested at worst.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuikVend Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Scrap it. Hard to find and questionable parts are probably all you'll find. Fixing it now it's delaying the inevitable. I've found quote a few quality machines around me for close to the $350 you were looking to pay. They just needed a good spit shine. You'll be better served in the long run.

SCOTT1963 Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Caeser is giving it 2 thumbs down at the Colosseum... Death to Savamco!!!! Get the 112 down to 500-600 and buy it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poplady1 Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 You can scrap it but you can also try to fix it. Here is a link http://www.vendingworld.com/Manuals/Savamco/FM1462.pdf I know this isn't your exact model but it gives a lot of information. Looks like CoinCo contracted with them for service and repair. I guarantee they are still around and they probably know the answer to your problem. Or call Vendors Exchange International: 8700 Brookpark Road, Cleveland, OH 44129 Phone: 800.321.2311 They have most parts. They will probably have the manual you need and the parts. Hope it helps.

Walta Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 The motors will likely sell on eBay, if you keep them listed long enough. Walta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
