We have changed out almost every part of a Vendo 721 from parts on hand from a working machine. The programming sequence is without error. All coil motors show 24VDC but none turn. Display shows money inserted...then shows vend after selection...then no action.  Area Vendo rep says never heard of this in 10 years on the job?? Has anyone else had such a situation?

I would appreciate suggestions from all for best places to buy rebuilt compressor decks. I have used a couple of local refrigeration techs with not too exciting luck. Someplace that specializes in vending decks sounds like the way to go,  I am sure there must be a reliable outfit used by many vendors.

I have a mixed bag of snack machines. In buying more, I would like to standardize as much as possible. I have good luck with USI models for small venues and recently bought a 3129. I have been impressed with the features and operation.  Is there a similar machine of other manufacturers to consider that is maybe older and less expensive. I have a similar situation with drink machines with  some Vendo 721s. Love them but cost prohibiting for smaller accounts.  Maybe I am chasing something that just can't be reasonably standardized.  I keep thinking of Southwest Airlines...same model aircraft, training and maintenance equals reliability and economy.  I haven't been around long enough to know if there is a snack machine that is a workhorse like the DN 501. Still trying to learn.
