Page R Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 I wanted something for my 3 boys to do, the oldest is 9. Not sure if we should try get it going or start with something else. It seems to be in pretty good shape with what I've seen so far. I'm clueless on these things but as of now it won't accept any coins or bills.

tblake05 Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Get ready for your electric bills to skyrocket if you run that baby 24-7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tismael56 Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Would it though? The compressors are that much larger than standard fridge comlressors and theyre not opened as often. @Page R if you have time to clean it up and get it working well and to service it then look for a location and place it would be my advice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngryChris Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 I don't think a 407 is going to be much worse than any other model as long as it's working properly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tblake05 Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Maybe I am thinking of an older model vendo. Is this one a stacker or serpentine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Page R Posted June 18, 2021 Author Share Posted June 18, 2021 It's a serpentine I believe. Where does one find parts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZVendor Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 You wont find any parts for a serpentine machine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Page R Posted June 19, 2021 Author Share Posted June 19, 2021 Now I'm wondering, is it actually a 407? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZVendor Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 I suspect you really have a stacker machine since you have a logic board. It's probably a 5.0 or 5.1 board which is a good one. 407 would be accurate. If you really have a serpentine rack then you are screwed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Page R Posted June 19, 2021 Author Share Posted June 19, 2021 Thanks for all the input. Here's some more pictures to help identify it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZVendor Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 I forgot about that model. You should immediately junk it. There are no parts for it and the vend mechanisms break easily due to spilled syrup gumming them up and / or the motors strip out. Here is the parts manual for it: https://515f3e44-bcef-4b52-99d8-6b4bd7c3b77d.filesusr.com/ugd/e49953_297d214ff0af464a94039cf44131381d.pdf I used to have the motor assemblies for them but I sold my parts warehouse. If you need a motor assembly for it I can tell you who to contact to see if he kept any of them (he doesn't like to keep parts for old, old machines). By the way, your machine is just in a V407 cabinet which is what "Basic Unit" means. The model is a V384. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngryChris Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 I have two similar models that I was essentially given for free just to take over the service. They work, but I'm replacing them anyway because they are just SO obsolete. Cans only, 6 selections (vendo 360?), not CC capable, doesn't seem to seal well. To top it all off, the doors say polyvend. It's worth more in scrap than $20 lol. Mine is single price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Page R Posted June 20, 2021 Author Share Posted June 20, 2021 Well I'm glad we didn't spend too much on it I guess. We'll have to do some searching for a better start-up model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngryChris Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 You can get your money back. Just put it at a tire shop or something with 5-10 blue collar workers and don't overstock it until you know what sells. It's a good way to get your feet wet, just not something I want in my target accounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
