I have owned and operated 3 bulk candy / gumball machines and a tabletop snack machine with a bill changer for a few years. They are in my business and are intended for employees and not really profit minded although they pay their way. I recently aquired an abandoned storage lot that included a Dixie Narco 501e that runs, cools, 8 of the 9 selections work. The problem is the machine has no rods & springs, no bottle or can spacers, no bottle neck guides so it vends none, then 2, then none and so on. It has shims in 8 narrow selections and no shim in the wide selection although I have no idea which one. I hope to set this machine up for 16.9 oz and 20 oz bottles of water and soda for employees to use. Any advice on where to start to get this machine functional would be greatly appreciated. What parts are required etc. I got this far by reading this forum before asking, pictures help a lot.
Thanks in advance
