SPARK Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Besides the coin mech and bill acceptor what else should I be saving ? Most part interchange with the 501E correct ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngryChris Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Refer deck, motors, mech, Val, board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZVendor Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 (edited) All parts except the rear spacers and side security plate will interchange with any E model. Keep everything that isn't worn out or broken. I'll add to the list - rotors, rods, coin insert parts, selection panel, delivery chute, motor cover..... I always kept everything for repairing other machines. Are you parting it because it got vandalized or because they are so big that they are near impossible to move?

orsd Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 (edited) Literally everything. I run a bunch of 501Es so I will eventually use every part. Motors, rotors (if they aren’t bent, 100% grab them. Sooner or later you will come across a machine that has bent or rotors with a lot of play), shims, rods, motor cover, chute, thermostat, evap fan, deck, mech, Val, all electronics including board and harnesses, chute, trim if it’s in good shape, t handle, coin insert/t handle plate, display, basically anything that is useable and is not the door or cabinet sheet metal. Also, you can eBay a lot of this stuff. Edited November 9, 2019 by orsd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPARK Posted November 10, 2019 Author Share Posted November 10, 2019 THANK YOU. I will basically save everything. When the machine is plugged in, it trips the power circuit. Also looks like someone dropped it from the 2nd floor of a office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orsd Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 (edited) Make sure any parts you save are still good. Judging by your comments, you want to inspect all electronics to make sure they are not broken or shorted out as it will cause the tripping of the breaker. Also make sure parts aren’t bent. What I would do is unplug the refrigeration deck (the deck has a plug connection in the lower left side of the cabinet, about a foot up from the ground. Should be a small box with a bunch of wires coming from it. The refrigerator deck is a 2 prong plug that plugs into the front face of the box.) Then plug in the machine, see if it still trips the breaker. If so then something in the machine is wrong. If not then the deck has something wrong. You can also plug the deck directly into an extension cord (the plug should look like a regular household plug) and test it that way. Was it actually dropped from a second floor? If so I want pics lol. Edited November 11, 2019 by orsd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPARK Posted November 12, 2019 Author Share Posted November 12, 2019 What is the right way to disconnect this red connector wire ? Or does it come off with the small screws only ? I tried pulling, pushing, twisting.. nothing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZVendor Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 (edited) With your fingers on the two parallel connectors begin prying the top one away from the switch and once it breaks free you can pull the connector off. They are tight if never removed before and while a terminal might bend it can be straightened out. Where are the pics of the damaged cabinet dropped "two stories"?

orsd Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 (edited) Take a screwdriver and use the shaft to push hard to the right on the bottom part of the connector while pushing down on the top of the double part of the connector. Once it loosens you can pull it off. Edited November 12, 2019 by orsd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
