Free vending towers

Post by Style »

Hi guys,
We seem to keep getting the same problem with some of our Snack a can towers where they start to free vend because the peg that stops the coin mech turning backwards falls out. I can fix it but it has happened again on a couple of machines.
So the question is apart from swapping the coin mech is there a permanent fix?

Thanks
Andy

It's just down to general wear and tear of machine.
Hole that pin sits in starts to get a bit bigger.

Undo four screws and place a small washer(or 5p if none to hand) over the pin a rescrew back together.
This should stop pin popping out of hole.

everyone loves freebies, just think of all the people you've made happy. the smiles on their faces are well worth the few pennies that it costs you :)
