Hi All, I'm having a problem with my machine oscillator not going into the extreme left or right position in the wide column section when trying to load soda cans. It just stays right in the middle. Is there any way to make the oscillator move into the extreme position. Thanks for any help in advance.

Take the motor off and see if it is functioning properly. Sounds like the motor was attached to the oscilator in the wrong position.

I did check the motor from the front panel setup. Every time I hit the soda selector button , the oscillator turns left and them right but then the oscillator bar comes to a stop bang in the middle preventing me from placing the soda cans. I put them on top of the bar and then hit the selector button the cans do drop in and load the oscillator but every now and then it has a tendency not to dispense a can.
The motor is definitely working. I'll have a look see tommorow to see if I can take the motor out. I thought there would be an easier adjustment than taking the whole motor out. Thanks for the input

I'm pretty sure the motor is out of phase with the oscillator. I think it happened to me once when i bought a used machine. Run the motor test so that the cam is in an identical location as one of the other oscillator motors. Then take the motor off the non functioning one and assemble it back the way the working one is assembled... you may have to take motor off working one as well if you cant see how it is attached behind the motor.
