kikegtz Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 I have an old Automatic Products LCM2 snack vending machine. It was working quite nice for some months and out of nowhere it stopped working. The problem is that the motors try to spin and they barely move the spiral (even without product). I would say the move around 1 degree. I tried checking the voltage in the control board and also in the power supply but they all seem ok 24V ac for the board and 110 V ac for the motors/lightning. I am not sure what is wrong. no matter which tray you try to move, it always does the same. Has anyone had the same issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lacanteen Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Most likely computer board. Luckily, due to credit card upgrades there is a glut of those boards available. I get $50 for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snickers Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 I may be missing something but I can't stop wondering. What in the world would that option in the program be used for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
venddoctor Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 The board used in the LCM was an off the shelf board made by Coinco. What that means is at least 3 different companies used the same basic program in various machines. AP used it in the LCM series snack machines, Wittern used it in the F80 series snack machines and one other manufacturer (believe it may have been Rock Ola but not sure) used it in a Can Drink machine which used solenoids to deliver the drink therefore it only needed to pulse the solenoid to get it to deliver the drink.
