dsimms Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 I am getting a couple of VS 4000's ready, at least on one of them, gumballs seem to be skipping every 8-10 turns...any idea on how I can get a 100% drop rate? any of you guys have this problem with GB's coming out?

West Coast Vend LLC Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 I don't know about the Vendstar but... Just a couple of things you could check. 1. Make sure the openings on the wheel and the opening in the front are lined up. 2. Make sure that if there are adjusting screws at the openings on the wheel, that they are completely open and the screws are tightened down. Make sure all the holes are open. Sometimes 2 could be open and the 3rd slightly closed. If there is a screw at each hole, take the screw(s) out that stop you from opening them up all the way. 3. Does the machine have a stirrer on the wheel. If not that could cause misses to happen at times. Gumball machines are pretty simple so there aren't a lot of things that could go wrong.

dsimms Posted September 14, 2009 Author Share Posted September 14, 2009 now I am having problems with M&I skipping...when they do come out, then about 10 come out at a time...I do not see how it can skip that many at a time. I put some pam in to make them a little slicker...but it does still skip from time to time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mxer518 Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Make sure that the wheel is lined correctly with the chute, this is something that can cause issues such as the ones you are having. Like said before there are only a few possible things that can be the issue and all should be able to be checked pretty quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
