I got it to vend tonight....

The coin mechanism is trashed, missing parts and I'm told prolly wouldn't work anyway even if all the parts were there. So I built a free vend switch and the inside rollers move as they should...It ran nice, smooth and quite as a mouse....I'll have to dig out my case of old 6 1/2 oz bottles and fill it up to see if it will really vend. Now I just got to get it to cool....I found this wire that was brittle but I didn't see any places where the two wires were touching but as soon as I moved the wire it started falling apart. Could this be the reason the compressor supposedly doesn't work....? Or maybe the relay is bad....? I really hope to get the unit to cool again without spending much money. The pics below are not pretty to look at but it's all part of the process.
