GagesVending Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 This seems like a nube question , but I never really had to do it, so I'm honestly not sure. How do I take apart a Vendstar? I want to have it broken down into three parts: Base, pole and body. Looks like they thread, but I've been spinning, and it doesn't go anywhere.

orsd Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 There's not many screws, but plenty of trying to slide it apart- they really used lots of slide to get her pices Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like spin and pull? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timberframe50 Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 No just pull the head off the pole, same with the base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GagesVending Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 No just pull the head off the pole, same with the base. It won't break to apply that much force? There's no threading, just rip it off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrCorey Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 one person once told me they come apart nicely with a big hammer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PokerCop Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I completely disassemble, wash, sanitize, and reassemble three machines a day over the last two weeks. Its easy but kind of a pain. I purchased 53 Vendstars for $525 from a friend. I wanted to make sure they are cleaned and sanitized before I place them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowcountry Dan Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 I completely disassemble, wash, sanitize, and reassemble three machines a day over the last two weeks. Its easy but kind of a pain. I purchased 53 Vendstars for $525 from a friend. I wanted to make sure they are cleaned and sanitized before I place them. I know many don't like the Vendstars, but that's quite a deal. I find them pretty easy to clean and take apart. Parts are generally available. One thing that is a pain is replacing doors. They will break off in many cases. I have some machines that have kept doors for years and some that will be broken over and over again. It just depends on your customers. Some are not smart enough to figure out the door only opens at a 90 degree angle. After that, it snaps off. Also, the coin mech. is not a drop though design. If people want to rip you off, they can. They can also pry open the coin box if they want. I've had few problems though. Most people are honest. They will hold up fairly well, I have machines in the field that are 4 years old and still working fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
