  1. I have had problems with wittern as well. When installing updated boards they have to be reprogrammed for either snack or soda and I haven't been able to find the instructions on the web. That means sitting on hold for 1.5 hours only to have it answered by a different department and be told someone from tech support will call you back. I never got the callback. I can't afford that sort of time. The other problem I ran into was a 10yr old USI, glass front combo with a bad compressor. The deck is obsolete with no replacement making the entire machine scrap! It's only 10yrs old!
  2. I didn't even check. Are there functionality issues with the talos units and older 3 tubes mechs and conlux 5?
  3. This week I noticed the Talos (bill reader) is incompatible with an AP Studio. Mei tech was stumped, worked in the 721 next to it and the MEI 27XX worked just fine in the studio, so all components were functional, just incompatible. Also the Studio has upgraded firmware as it is currently running CC hardware.
  4. Why not just purchase an existing route?
  5. Sts assigns selection switches to the columns you choose, So you can in practice make selection 1 activate columns 4,5,&6. ect. If you buy an unknown machine or board it could have various criteria programmed, such as STS that could make your machine act the way you describe. Pulling the battery and keeping it out for a minute or two will erase the settings on the board and reset them to default.
  6. no idea now days. Wittern prices have gone through the roof. I don't think they rebuild old ones. We have two that were used, but in good shape. We don't operate any combo units though unless it's a large location with special circumstances.
  7. I've got two complete replacement decks for sale.
  8. it sounds like a space to sales issue. Check button assignments on sts.
  9. very helpful! Will do! Thank you gentlemen!
  10. it is setup for all cans with proper shimming and rods. These are actual jams. The cans appear to begin their final drop and then it appears the motors reverse, pinching the cans 20% up from the bottom of the can, laying on its side. All jammed columns do the exact same thing and it always begins at column 2 or 3 and includes 4,5,6,&7 columns. I've verified the columns are being loaded correctly. When replacing the board, all connectors seem securely connected. I have not yet verified power at the motors, but I am always able to run 30-40 successful test vends before leaving the location. I have confirmed there are power surges at the location recently.
  11. We have a machine that will occasionally jam 4 or 5 columns. I don't know if it happens all at once or separately, but when we get there they are all jammed. I've seen similar problems caused by power surges with other 501e's. Typically a control board or motor switches are the culprit. With this machine we've replaced the control board and all motor switches and it did the same thing after 3 weeks of working fine. The power cord is unencumbered with no visible cuts, voltage at the outlet is 120v. I cannot reproduce the jam. It sells lots of cases between jams. Any ideas?
  12. I've used large body washers to hold the mounting plate of a cashless device in place on the 721/621
