Oceanic217 Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 I have recentally found a old Astro Oak vending machine and restored it and cleaned it. I bought Gumballs that fit in the wheel, but while vending with all the gumballs put into the machine (about 150) I’ve noticed if I put in 25 cents, many gumballs will come out sometimes.I’ve adjusted the wheel by unscrewing the Three Phillips head screws multiple times and rearranging them but I can’t figure it out. Some help would be greatly appreciated and I will attach some photos! Thank you in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYCandyMaN Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 technically it should not vend more than 1 with that setup, but i would get a gumball wheel instead as the one you have is a candy wheel, also you might want to check the springs, they may be loose 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

titandist Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 You have the wrong wheel and brush housing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bravo Duck Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Two problems, you have the wrong wheel and brush housing. The wheel and brush housing that you have are for candy. The other problem is your brush housing is in facing the back, it should be in facing the front. So rotate it 180 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PerformaVending Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 As others have said, you'll want a different wheel to vend that properly. I will add that if you intend to use that candy wheel going forward, you would be wise to take care of that corrosion on the metal portion control insert, or it'll continue to spread. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
