Mars coin dispenser problems

24 April 2013 - 08:40 PM

I have an older pepsi machine and the coin dispenser is going out on me. periodically, it would just give a free soda, now it is happening more and more, until finally today, it wont take any money. i want to see if it would be worth it to buy a new mars coin acceptor or have it repaired.

 

the problem i am facing is i dont know what to look for online. are all mars coin acceptors the same? i have attached pictures, and it shows the dispenser ( i cant tell what the model number is) any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

i have a link to 4 pictures: they show the connector, front, side (with partial model number and serial number) and teh back that lists what i may need. thanks again guys! you have all been great.

Dixie Narco 501E going from 20oz to 16.9 or 16 possible?

29 March 2013 - 09:46 AM

i recently took bought a vending machine that was carrying 20 oz bottles. i dont have an account nor do i want to go that route but wanted to find out:

can i use enough shims in my 501E that i can use 16.9 oz plastic bottles instead of 20oz bottles? I tried searching and could only find sporatic answers. Any help would be appreciated.

Basically i am wondering...

1. how many shims do i need for narrow slots to go from 20 to 16.9
2. how many shims do i need for 2 bay slots to go from 20 to 16.9
3. do i need to worry about replacing cams? ( i thought i read that somewhere)

Thanks for your help! i really appreciate it.
