tblake05 Posted October 5 Share Posted October 5 Hey guys, I just placed a 276e and part of a package deal got a second 276e that was an attempted break in that was stripped but has potential after a good cleaning. it’s missing mech and validator plus siid board and I think some harnesses. I plugged it in and the compressor turns on, but doesn’t seem to get cold. I didn’t mess with it much, but @AZVendor is there a stub end on the compressor of these? if it has a good cooling deck, I’m half tempted to replace the bent up t handle plate and missing parts and put it back into service. im in it 500.00 for the both of them.

AZVendor Posted October 5 Share Posted October 5 It's not worth putting money into a vandalized cabinet that is missing so many parts. If it's not so many as you describe then you'll need to see if you can find the parts somewhere - that could be the challenge. There should be a stub on the compressor that a line tap can be put on to. Single price machines are so cheap now that it would be better to put your money into a complete and working machine. I'd say you overpaid for these but that might be all you could find right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tblake05 Posted October 5 Author Share Posted October 5 My second machine... recharge, a used siid blue button from fleabay, a coin mech and validator, plus straighten a piece of metal and apply this decal. You wouldn't do that AZ for another wokring machine? https://www.capitalvending.com/dixie-narco-s2d-coin-insert-panel-decal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZVendor Posted October 5 Share Posted October 5 It sounded like it was missing more than that. You mentioned a harness too so I was thinking someone removed the door harness. Make it pretty and good to go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tblake05 Posted October 5 Author Share Posted October 5 I think there is one missing, MDB to board all that. But they can be had on ebay. Good winter project. I just want to hear it run and cool before I spend any money on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tblake05 Posted October 5 Author Share Posted October 5 Hey @AZVendor I have two working decks! The one from the parts machine was just a touch low on Freon. Cools great! I found the stub, it sticks out of the compressor on the left side kinda by the drain pan. next question though, they have the thermostat capillary routed oddly through a cutout on the right side of some shielding for the evaporator. It looks strange, touching metal, and the actual capillary is in the updraft of the cool air behind the evap that’s being blown upwards into the cab.... how should the thermostat route on these and where should the capillary end be?

AZVendor Posted October 6 Share Posted October 6 E models use that slot. Any models earlier than that have the cap tube pushed into the brass tube behind the evaporator. The factory thermostat had the end of the cap tube shaped into a cotter pin shape to fit in the slot but the aftermarket ones just need to be formed into a loop at the end before putting into the slot. Only about 1/2-3/4" protrudes into the shroud. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
