Old Coke machine needs repair
 
I have an old Coke vending machine that needs repair. Anyone have any suggestions?

If the problem is with the cooling, I would start calling HVAC companies. Your biggest problem maybe that the old system uses refrigerant that is no longer available. I have no idea if a more modern cooling system can be retrofitted. If the problem is with the mechanical vending side of the machine, I would start a google search for vending machine repair services, you may get lucky and find one in Ocala or Orlando. The other option would be to search for coca cola collector clubs, and start asking them for help. I hope you are successful in your quest.

Thanks. Think it’s coolant. Tried a couple of AC guys but they didn’t know their way around the machine and couldn’t figure it out.

Try this, do a Google search for the vending machine SERVICE MANUAL you might get lucky and find one. With that in hand you can then call vending machine repair shops (probably another google search) and tell them you have a manual.
Hope you are successful.

Just did a Google search "old coke machine service manuals" I saw what looked like several promising results.
Hope this helps.

I have a friend who lives in Del Webb that serviced vending machines in his working career. He is licensed in AC as well. He cannot access TOTV. Larry, 352-804-0206

Thanks. Will see what’s out there.

Bahamm 12-20-2018 06:07 PM

Thank you. I will call him tomorrow.

Thanks for your friends number. I decided to wait until after Christmas to call. Didn’t want to intrude on the holidays.
