ChrishH Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Hello everyone, I’m new to vending machines I picked up a working Vendo v407 that was abandoned at my work. It was unplugged for about 6 months (by me) and it work prior to this. I finally was able to purchase it from the owner. I loaded the machine with soda and it cools and the cams work great when I actuate them by hand. The problem is when money is put into the machine either dollar bill or coins it except the cash but will not vend any product. Customers can get their money back by pressing the refund button. Just looking for any help. Thank you all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orsd Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Is this a single price or electronic? (Does it have an LED display?) The v407 designation is just a cabinet size. The full model number (its like 10 characters long) would help as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrishH Posted May 29, 2020 Author Share Posted May 29, 2020 Ok, that makes more sense. I was having a hard time finding information on the unit. I have a MFR’s NO 01C 4078 ZF and serial NO 8RF 055020. It’s none LED and single price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZVendor Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Sounds like a lowering shelf machine. Are the motor cams metal? If so you should junk it. They are ancient with no parts available and dificult to keep running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYCandyMaN Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Don't they all have spinning augers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZVendor Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 I think it's a lowering shelf machine based on the old style model and serial numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrishH Posted May 29, 2020 Author Share Posted May 29, 2020 If I understand what your talk about correctly, the cams are plastic. I believe it is a lowering shelf machine based on the research I’ve done. I’ve reset the pricing on the coin collector but still same results. Thank you for your help!

orsd Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Is it setting a credit on the relay? (Do you hear a click from the relay when you’ve inserted enough money?) As far as I know you aren’t supposed to be able to get your money back after the vend price has been met. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I got one of these as well, I think it's a single price machine, any way to change prices on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZVendor Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Candyman again showing his lack of knowledge. Never had a single price machine? Ever? Hmm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve only been in the biz 3 years. One of the two single price machines I have I’m almost positive is older than me. As a matter of fact I think it’s a vendo 407. Stacker though.

tblake05 Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 “Know your machine”, right guys why would you buy one of these? Hope you got a good deal on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zachsea Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 In the right condition and right price I’d still bite on a super clean one of these today. Total tanks of a machine so if you’ve got a great deal on it for an account you never plan to use cards at or only sell cans, its a solid machine.

Vendo Mike Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Can you share the coin mech model and take a pic of the dip switch bank inside the mech where you set your prices and options? It may be that you set the price higher than you believed and the machine isn't vending because you haven't met that price yet. If the mech is returning the correct amount, either you aren't reaching the vend price or the coin mech is not firing the vend relay. If it worked before it was unplugged for 6 months, but not since you powered it back on, look for the easy things first starting with any adjustments you might have made.

NYCandyMaN Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 (edited) FYI i did not buy it, it works fine, it was a takeover, the owner didn't want to deal with it, so i took it over, and started making cash with it, its not that i don't know the machine, which i do, just not into dinosaurs as i should be, i will be updating the machine to possibly a better bill acceptor instead of the coinco. i would never buy an old machine like this to begin with, but if i can make cash with it, im all in, the only difference is that it runs 110v instead of 24v i do not lack the knowledge about the machine, and every new machine i come across is just a new venture Edited September 21, 2022 by NYCandyMaN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
