Thank you to anyone taking there time to see this post and help. I recently acquired a Royal Vendors Merlin 3 Coke front machine someone junked, and I'm trying to see if I'm able to fix it. It has many problems that I will list out here- 1. The screen doesn't turn on or light up at all 2. The main lights don't turn on (they may be dead, in the video you can see the left light flickering) 3. Missing coin eject button (I have seen these for sale, if anyone knows a site I should buy it from that would be great) 4. Door switch is disconnected, If anyone can tell me how/link a video on how to reconnect it that would be amazing 5. The bolt that the T-handle drills into is loose, resulting in a lock that is almost impossible to close (not the biggest issue as it still works, but just an inconvenience. All of these are demonstrated in the video that is linked with this post, any help at all would be great, Thank you all! Also if you need any additional information to help diagnose this machine, just ask and I will provide. I cut the video down, as it was too big to fit here (limit is 1.74 MB) - https://clipchamp.com/watch/HVOcy9sMuRB

Hello all, I am new to this, and am looking for assistance with getting this machine to dispense. The compressor and cooling works great. The data tag says it’s a Vendo V132. The Coinco change counter model is an S75-9800B and has 1982 stamped on it. I changed the price to 5¢, and I can get it to accept coins. I’ll hear a relay click on, then immediately back off, but it will not dispense a can. I emptied the first selection column of cans, and saw that the “Sold Out” bulb illuminates momentarily when the relay clicks. The bulb does not stay on, and I cannot make a selection. There does not seem to be much info across the internet on this machine at all. I’m a mechanic, so I am familiar with electrical diagnosis and repairing things. I have plenty of photos, but I’m new here and don’t know how to make it allow me to attach more

I have a genesis combo machine that is not cooling. I believe air is still coming out, it's just not cold. Any help on the solution here would be much appreciated.

I am returning a Seaga OD16S and cannot figure out what size rivets were used for the machine. Also where can I find parts for replacements? I’ve tried Stlvendingparts.biz, but they never answer the phone or call back. Their website accepts orders, but they never actually go through. any help would be appreciated.

Hello, I have a Dixie Narco 368 110v Single Price soda machine that started having some issues. I was notified that it started to autovend from the 8th slot immediately when the proper amount of change was given(one guy reported it double vended the 8th slot). Once the 8th option was sold out it would simply take the money without any response. I am used to this machine taking the money then making the loud click noise until a selection is made. Here is what I have tried. 1) I changed out the coin mech(both coin mechs respond the same) 2) Bypassed the bill validator(same) 2) Replaced the vend relay(same) 3) Attempted to install a replacement motor/motor switch - not exact match(see picture) - Resulted in simply taking money and no response(still gives proper change). 4) Took the known working motor switch and changed with the motor switch on the original(same take money or auto vend if product) 5)Tested by disconnecting the selection switch for the 8th spot with original parts to be sure not a button jam or something(still will auto vend 8th slot if anything is in it) I think I have concluded that the motor is weak or bad and that I need to replace with the exact motor, which I don't currently have. First off is there anything else I should try/attempt before tracking down the motor? Assuming it is the motor(I hope the 8th motor), is there a way to bypass the 8th motor and allow the machine to function as a 7 selection machine until I repair? I have 4 of the "replacement" motors that I tried to add to the machine(same cam, similar model, etc). Does it make a different or increase compatibility by replacing all 4 with same motor? Does having 1 different and three the same mess up the machine? Any assistance or guidance is greatly appreciated.
