Hello everyone,
I'm brand new to this forum (like 30 minutes). I've been searching this forum and a couple others, as well as hundreds of google images, and nowhere can I find either an image that matches my pop machine or any model references that match mine.
Inside on the model plate it clearly states
Dixie Narco, Inc.
Model DCB 264/156-6
SN: 698---2344AE
I'm trying to find out approximately when this machine was made, and some common reference (other than the obvious "DCB 264" to what model it is so I can find manuals and maybe a few parts. See image below to see what the front looks like.
The machine is working well, cooling and actuating. I did have to throw out the coin actuator a year or two ago and hard-wire a button by a diagram I found. Right now I've got one of the six columns that's useless because one of the rotators at the bottom is twisted. I'd love to find a duplicate or similar machine I could buy for spare parts.
Any help appreciated.
available on their website now and I've never, in my 30 years of vending, ever seen a manual specific to it. That isn't a problem however as many of the parts have been used in different models of DN machines up until the late 90s at least. I have tons of parts for these and the rotor can be replaced if you could get me a photo of the inside of your cabinet with the motor cover removed. I also need to see a photo of the inside of the column you need the rotor for so I can determine if you have rear spacers or not. That will determine the length of the rotor you need.
Ok, took a while but I got the pics and got the bad rotor out of the machine. See pics below. Don't ask me how the bad rotor got twisted like that, it defies my imagination. I remember a long time ago I had to take some cans out of that column that had literally been shredded by the rotor. But I think the rotor had probably been twisted for some time.
If you have a rotor to match that one, give me a price including shipping. If you want to wrap this up via email, I've tried sending you a test email you can respond to.
The bad rotor measures 13 1/4" tip to tip, including the shafts.
First image is the six actuator motors. That failing column is second from the left.
Second column image is a shot of a good rotor.
Third image is a shot of what should be an identical column, but if you look closely you can see the rotor is not level as it should be. If you could see the back half, the back half is level.
Fourth image is the bad rotor removed from the machine.
Thanks,
George
