The motors in those old machines are usually in series...so if the first one has a broken connection, none of the motors after it will work. I would really inspect the wires going to the first motor. Maybe even swap the first motor for the last motor. Also make sure your sold out switches are working.

@HappyVendingКүн бұрын
It all depends on the machine. What do you have? For a royal g3, you can just reach underneath and release the product stop latch and move the rotor around and drop down the sodas. You can also go into the menu and have the machine test vend a column multiple times.

Greetings Bill. Your video was extremely helpful. Very glad I ran into it since there are not a lot of technicians that service these types of soda machines. I was able to make use your video to have the correct setting for the 20Oz bottles. I do have a question regarding the use of 16.9Oz bottles. Due to inflation, and customer willingness only to pay so much for a soda, we ran into the 16.9Oz bottles that meet the consumer price but we are having issues while vending. The issue we have is that when we bought our machine, it came with no rods and only one type of shim which only has the three notches on them. They work for the 20Oz, but not for the 16.9. So one person will pay but get no soda, the next person pays and gets two bottles. This pattern repeats over and over, one no vending second vending double bottles. Can you suggest a solution?

Hi, the 6% the credit card company charges per transaction, are they charging me or the customer? For example, I have a soda for sale for $1.25 and cash is that price. But if I have the card reader and someone pays with credit card will they deduct their 6% out of my $1.25 ? , leaving me $1.00 or $1.15? Etc?
@HappyVending12 күн бұрын
They take the 6% out of the sale. So if the item costs 1 dollar, they take 6 cents and you get 94 cents. Because of this, many people set up 2-tier pricing in which you charge more for credit card sales. Watch this video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/qX1rz7mEqpbdebQ.htmlsi=gB7zszDp2tNEGEYj

So they mentioned they would sell me the card reader and transfer the ownership. And they mentioned it takes about 10 days and cost for transfer is around $30. Is this a straight forward process or is the transfer a messy process usually? Its my first time. The person seems trust worthy. I went to their warehouse and looked at other machines too, so they are legit. Also, while we start the transfer process, I plan to put the machine on site and start setting it up. If the transfer does take 10 days as mentioned. Do i put a note to only use cash and not card reader for 10 days and onces its transfers, then remove that sign from my vending machine?

I know I watched a video before about it, but I can't remember or find it anymore. 😅 Overall thank you so much. 🙏
@@AlimentandonuestraFE.2024 You need to watch this video again: kzread.info/dash/bejne/q4J4uaN7gqfXncY.htmlsi=LZBWaR2ekDy0tEYD
Do you know why machines give a different drink than the one you've selected?
You probably have space to sales set wrong. Watch my video on Space to Sales.
Hello! First of all I want to thank you for every one of your videos they're very helpful! I just order this part, thank you for the part number! Im going to try selling waters on my Royal 660-9 vending machines
Are you sure you have a 660-9 machine? 660-9 would be a g3 machine and these shims won't work. These shims are for 650 machines, which are the Merlin iV machines. Does you machine have coke graphics on it?
Hi happy vending what are you paying in today's economy roughly? Ever tried off brands like for example faygo , or shasta ??
I still try to pay around 40 cents a can. I do not purchase off brands.
My go to channel if I need any help on my vending machine I really appreciate your videos
Thanks for teaching me this!
How do you reset the cash box amount after I empty it?
Go into technician settings on the vpos and there is an option to set the machine as full and to reset the cash box. You will need to know your password.
What is the power consumption on a machine like this?
I'm not 100 percent sure because it doesn't state that in the manual, but it's probably around 12 kWh per day.
@@HappyVending Thankyou, i did also try looking in the manual online but also couldnt find the information. (i just want a free vend one for my home🤣) but at nearly at 40c per kwh it might not be the best idea for me. Just watched several of your helpful videos and learnt so much. Thanks again.
@@itsJENmofo Yeah, it would probably be best to just buy a small fridge for your garage.
I loved your video, it was very helpful. I was wondering if the credit card readers that you got the second time around did better? Or if you ended up changing companies? Thank you
Thank you. I am still using the Nayax readers that I installed in this video and they are still working well.
Don’t have as much room on a royal 500 series. Not sure what to do
As much room for what? To change the bulbs?
Someone killed a friend of mine that was a technician for this sort of technology
With the nayax inventory management, is that a free feature?
For the full management suite, you pay more per month per machine?
How do you order parts directly from Crane? I don't see any info on how to do that online.
I usually just call them: 651-224-4391
How were you able to get the dimensions printed
NBS: www.nbsinc.net/ has the dimensions of most common machines on file. You just tell them the model and serial number of your machine.
They have staff to help old people.
This channel is such a gem 💎
Great video. Question though, I have an older Vendo machine, the coin mech is pretty messed up. Is it fairly easy to upgrade to a different coin mech? Are they fairly universal? Thanks.
How old is your vendo? If it supports MDB, it will be easy to find a replacement. If it is older, you will need to make sure you get one with the correct connector and voltage. Check vending works for a compatable coin mech. vendingworks.com/
Hiya mate how's things I've seen dixi narco vending machine likes the ones you got when you open the machine the lights turn itself off when you closed the machine it turns the light on is there a setting to do that if so can you do a video on how to do it please
The dixie stack machines generally do not have a light relay to turn off and on the lights. The Royal machines do have a relay kit you can add for the lights.kzread.info/dash/bejne/pquZlNirYZyxc8o.htmlsi=1hVDvU5kcCM0tPK9
@@HappyVending thanks when you doing more videos on your vending machine next mate
@@teamalanmountjoy3244 hopefully soon.
@@HappyVending thanks can't wait for your new video
Can someone please turn on the Lights
Hey there Bill. Watch your videos all the time. After two years with this recycler whats your thoughts. Any issues? Still think it was a good move? Thinking of using it in my biggest account for the soda machine.
The recycler still works great. It is full of 10s and 5s every week, so students are using it with bigger bills. If you have a big account, I would recommend it.
