olftboy Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Long story short... Friend lost fob to their old soda machine. Offered to me for free so I took them up on the offer and it's now sitting in the shop. Before firing up the hammers, chisels and cutting torch... thought I'd ask if there is a way in to this machine without totally destroying the front. I understand hacking in to these machines should not be a "open" topic as it would seem to promote theft. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Machine is a Dixie Narco DN276EMC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparta_Automation Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 There are ways into the machine. I assume it's a Tri-teq lock. AZVendor should be able to help. Travis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olftboy Posted October 11, 2015 Author Share Posted October 11, 2015 Understood. I did try PMing AZVendor and a notice said no new messages allowed. I'll keep checking and see if I can get through. Thanks to both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olftboy Posted October 12, 2015 Author Share Posted October 12, 2015 One more question... How can I remove one of the select buttons while doing the least amount of damage? (door is still locked shut) Such as hitting the button top right, bottom right, etc. Or should I cut around the perimeter with a dremel? I'm even up for drilling the rivets on the framework, if that will get me anywhere. Thoughts..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cvending Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 First of all, what are you trying to do? Why not just remove it once you get the door open. No damage that way. I would also check with your friend for the key fob number and order a replacement. If it was a Pepsi Asset, they would have a master key to open it. Call your local Pepsi bottler and request they open it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call your local Pepsi bottler and request they open it. I'm in a Catch-22 here. First step to opening the door is to remove one of the buttons. The fob is lost, no key fob number and the local Pepsi doesn't deal with these machines anymore. I have a path forward... hence the question that was asked.

lacanteen Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 I have broken in to an HVV, which involves a button removal, but not the type you have, which is a Magnum. Have you called TriTeq? 847-640-7002. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stutterbox007 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 I have issue with a Dixie Narco 276E! It was given to me when I purchased a route. The gentleman's wife couldn't find the FOB key for the machine so she gave it to me. Can someone advise me how to get it open so I can order a new FOB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZVendor Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 You need to open it and then convert it to a normal T-handle. Email me at rbepic4gatgmaildotcom for instructions on how to open it. I can send you parts to convert it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure you are very busy, but I shot you an email the other day, but I wanted to make sure you got it. Hoping you can help me out. Thanks!

petersvending Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 What is this? Key fob? Like a button for locking and unlocking your car? They have this for soda machines now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cvending Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 It looks as though it was a Pepsi asset at one time. Pepsi should have a battery powered device to open it. Call your local Pepsi distributor and ask for the vending dept. may cost you a few bucks but cheaper than repairs you might need if you try to force your way in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
