Also have been vending now for 7 years. If I wasn't confident in my advice I wouldn't have even tried to help you. A lot of the guys on this thread are very good vendors/techs. For the love of God and the sake of your location cut off the damn GFI on the cord and put a normal plug. Or bring in a qualified electrician to check the circuit and machine. If you somehow damage the board which you wont. I will send you a board for half the price of whatever they cost. I could almost swear you are implying that the problem is with the gfi. Maybe. Or maybe it's a gremlin. Gremlins make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will wait for the "battery back" from triteq, ill try that, if not I will disconnect the gfi, I'm just wondering how a new and on old gfi would give feedback the same way. Ill post a pic as soon as I can shrink it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your machine has been down over a week, I am sure your customer is not very happy with a dead machine. You really need to study up on basic electrical theory at the minimum before attempting to play with a machine. If you still want to spend your money, hire a qualified service tech. called up a friend from Pepsi, he confirmed, that they will take the machine, if given location, then im out of machine, product, cash, and location!

That would be stealing. Pepsi cannot take YOUR product or money. They would have to get it back to you or reimburse you. Secondly, Pepsi FIXES these machines all the time...maybe not in a timely fashion, but they DO fix them. And what do they do?? They CUT OFF THE GFI PLUG AND ATTACH A REGULAR PLUG! That is what they have done for my Pepsi machines AND that is what their techs have told MY techs to do. What I don't understand is that MANY on this thread have SUGGESTED/even INSISTED that you do this and you still haven't. Your machine has been down for quite awhile now. At this point, WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO LOSE! At the very least, I would get my customer a different machine, take this one back to your shop and attempt to fix it there. But WHY leave your customer without service? As it stands right now, you're already without a machine, the product, the money and a customer. Ay' Caramba!

This doesn’t make sense. Unless you stole the machine from Pepsi or Pepsi is somehow affiliated with the mob up in NYC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYCandyMaN Posted October 1, 2018 Author Share Posted October 1, 2018 that's the thing, its a NYFD, but the city doesn't control the vending machines, that's on the fire guys themselves, cash is cash, ill go back and see if he'll sign a bill of sale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can't sell something that doesn't belong to them. Just because you have a bill of sale, doesn't mean you can keep it. That would be like someone stealing your car, selling it to me and giving me a bill of sale and me getting to keep your car. Just doesn't work that way.

I know this, but my point is that he says he bought it, he knows it's a pepsi asset, and he acquired the stolen asset anyway because he probably figured it's a lot cheaper to pay for a nice stolen machine than to buy one legitimately. At least a bill of sale would have given him a paper trail to blame the fire station for selling it. As far as i see it, he gave the firehouse a "finder's fee" to let him steal it, considering he knew it was Pepsi's. Then, he wants advice on breaking into a machine that isn't even his. Why would anyone give him any more advice on breaking into a STOLEN machine? This thread should be locked or deleted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just doesn't work that way. so now the question is... how do small vendors wind up with these machines? and how does pepsi not know about this going on? most machines to my understanding are just old, and pepsi doesn't care for them, but they still belong to them, but why not service a machine for a few years if the machine belongs to them, its obviously abandoned, they hope that someone will find it or buy it, and return it to them after they've neglected it. I will not be a scape goat, ill run the machine, and ill sell it off to someone else when im done. I do have the key for it, so if I stole it, why would I have the key, the machine was working fine until it lost power, now this triteq company has been driving me crazy for 3 weeks already! I will be getting the box tomorrow, I will make sure the machine will run tomorrow, I have all my options ready to go. 1 try the battery pack, if it works, great, ill fix the problem inside, if not 2 remove gfi, if it doesn't work 3 break one of the buttons, yes I have spares, and open door manually one way or another, I will have it open tomorrow, I know its not the best options, but that's what I have at this point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JUST LIKE THE COKE MACHINES, COKE DOESNT CAKE FOR THEM, AND THERE THOUSANDS OF THEM ON THE STREETS, AND NOT JUST NY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
