I drive a 1995 Chevy 2500 hd truck its my daily driver ,I take off the tail gate put machine about a 1 1/2 to 2 feet behind the truck,then I lean it back so it rests on the bumper ,then me an a friend or two depending on size of machine lift an slide it into the bed,but I plan on mounting a winch in the bed of the truck an I'm gonna have a steel frame made that I can strap to the machine so I can just hook up the winch an pull it up once I get all this ill be able to move them to ground floors myself,I no I just could get a lift gate but there expensive an my truck gets bad enough gas milage as it is .I found a spot for a snack machine today ,have u gotten any yet or what kind of machines r u looking at just curious?

Well I've only bought machines from to people both named Joe the first one was a nice guy I bought from a storage unit that had no power I took his word for it that it worked it did except coin mech went down 2 days later wich is how I found a company named geekay in ludlow mass great people the rebuild coin mech bill validators ect this is were I've been getting all my parts locks, an shim kits too well anyways I put the new coin mech in it no problems since an this machine is a mid 1980's Dixie Narco 276 its thinner makes it easier to place in small area.then I meet the second Joe he has been great I can't thank him enough he showed me what I'm looking for in testing the machines I've bought about 7 or 8 off him since ,he also told me his story an were he went wrong ,he told me I should b safe the way I'm doing it no loans used machines shop around I got to Dixie Narco 501e's for $300 each go on eBay. Or any website selling they want 1000$ and they won't have Jeff Gordon on them wich mine do.just really do ur home work b patient an shop I found all mine on craigslist I also stick to Dixie Narco for soda I hear others are good but I do it so I learn that brand makes it easier when it comes time to fix them an I took a machine apart for extra parts.most company have a tech support line anybody can call if the ask company name just make one up they won't give u are hard time,so I guess what I'm trying to say is its all in the person u r buying it from how nice,knowledgeable they are.I've been lucky ,like I said I've only been doing this a few months but I think I learned alot if u r handy with working on stuff u will b fine,anything else I can help with?

Okay ill do my best coin.1 coin mech in order for a coin mech to work properly it a. Has to be loaded with change an b. At least 1 selection has to have soda in it because if machine is empty it won't take money from the outside it will fall start threw to the coin return (also if these two arnt met it will disable bill validator too) u will probably need to put least 6 cans or bottles.now to fill coin mech with change open machine door find the coin mech an look at u will see three tubes each on labeled 5 10 25 at very top of tube there will b a little slot this is were u drop the change in put to whole rolls in each .once u do that ur coin mech is loaded an if there is at least one row with enough cans it should work take money an give right change back.if it doesn't work its not the end of the world if ur machine is a single price a coin mech rebuilt is about $80 if it is a multi price they r about $40 :..................shims I don't no if every brand has them all my soda machines r Dixie Narco's,but on mine if u look in the row were u stack the soda cans inside they go down the bottom on the right hand side of the rotor wich is the thing that spins to drop the soda .on mine I gotta use different ones for cans and bottles they can get bent from jams ect, metal shims r used in narrow rows only wide rows use plastic.now to quickly inspect look up the drop chute u can see all the shims hanging from each row just look do they all look in the same shape? I got a complete kit for my DN501e to change from bottles to cans for $90 it did all 9 rows ::................condensor yes this is what cools yes it should get cold all the way across but it my take an hour it two ,,did I miss anything hope I helped
