Help fixing your machine by phone or video chat
When I got my first machine, I had no idea what I was buying but I bought it anyway! When I got the machine home and had to start working on it, I was lost. I wished there was someone that I could have called to get some advice. I would have been glad to pay them for helping. Now years later, I offer this help to customers.
I can help with:
- Is the machine worth what they are asking for it? Is it collectible, valuable, rare, or a dinosaur?
- What to buy, where to get parts, how does the machine operate
- Is this machine missing any parts? Where do I get them? How Do I Install them?
- Number # 1 request I get it: Can you help me fix this machine? How do I get this machine in working order again? How do I fix the lights or vending? How do I set it to free vend?
- DIYers: Should I restore this machine? What are the steps if I want to do it myself?
- What kind of coin mech do I need?
- How do install a new cooling system. (1 hr )
