In Topic: Dixie Narco - changing the cam Vend?

Many thanks for everyones help, ended up changing the motor assembly and that has sorted the problem.

You had the rotor installed out of phase. You should always look at the motors and rotors in the neighboring colums to make sure it is installed the same as those.

Ok..... You got me! I've been to two county fairs and a goat roping and don't recall seeing that! Best I can tell its a serpentine style machine, The front looks like an older 5 select bottle machine. There must be can modules at the bottom. There should be some kind of release on the solenoid to manually eject the cans. I can't tell you, Maybe someone else has seen that machine. All else fails load the machine with the right product and vend the wrong ones out. Just a thought.

You will either have a solenoid that energizes to release product or a helix on a motor that drives for delivery. The solenoid version is generally easier to remove product from, you just need to locate the 'T' shaped plunger ande manually press it for a vend. The helix style usually involves pulling a pin or lever to release the vend mechanism this will allow product to free flow out of the column. Be careful if you try this with helix version, sodas will fly out like mad. I have not seen a Dixie serpentine, but have worked on numerous other types and those are the only two types of vending mechanisms I have seen in those.
