    Vending Machine Service - Detroit MI

    Which AMS vending machine did you buy? Your warranty issues should be with Rain Tunnel and not with AMS directly. Is the coin mech that you had to replace a Coinco? Did you have to give them a credit card number when you replaced the cooling compressor unit? The lights should be LED’s and should...

    Kleen-Rite vs Amazon

    On our foam brush I use the KR #SWV38 swivel, they seem to work well. On our High Pressure gun I use the KR #SWV500 ball bearing swivel. I am not real satisfied in the longevity of the ball bearing swivel. After about 6 months or so the look like this

    AMS makes a pretty good vending machine. Did you buy it from a distributor or directly?

    Has anyone had Kleen Rite Soap issues?

    That strong sulfur-like smell is probably Hydrogen sulfide, it put off the foul odor of rotten eggs or a sulfur smell.

    Tampered round steel vault door and now cannot get open.

    It sounds to me like the genius who drilled the lock out also drilled though the lock and drilled out the plate that the Allen wrench fits into. If this is the case you’ve got a challenge on your hands. Sometimes you can get a large screwdriver to bite the disc that the locking pins are mounted...

    New Weepmizer sensor mounting

    You don’t want to mount it on the building, like your old one. You want to mount the temperature sensor about 4 to 6 inches away from the building. I took a piece of thin aluminum about 2” wide and 7” long and bent it at 90 deg. drilled to holes it so I could mount it on the building, then took...

    Slug buster 3 issues

    When was the last time you opened the door and wiped out the inside of the coin acceptor with something like Windex? Do you have the small screws in the door to keep it closed? We test our Slugbuster III every day with a nickel to make sure they aren't jammed up. You could give the Parker girls...

    Medeco coin vault lock won’t turn

    Also spray the lock down with something like PB Blaster or Kano Kroil penetrating oil, I gave up on WD-40 years ago . Don't put a pair of vise grips on the key you probably break the key off. Do you have the key number of the lock in case you have to get a new lock.
