In this episode I fix an air leak in my soda machine that I put off for 8 years.

YES! So excited to see you are back! I miss your videos! Can't wait to watch this later! Hope you are doing well! Best of luck with the new school year Bill! :)

I have been using clear marine silicone in a small tube, but it is really messy to work with. Going to try this next time. Thanks Bill !!!!!!!!!

Great to see another Happy Vending video! I hope you’ve been doing well.

[@ablelock]

That is a pretty cool video and very informative. Look forward to seeing a lot more of your videos. I’ve watched all that you have now on your channel. Hopefully, you will put out more new content would enjoy watching it. Happy vending. 😊

Good see you doing video's again I've missed your uploads mate

[@arthouston7361]

On the railroad, we called that stuff "dum dum."

[@dennissmithjr.5370]

Great video again Bill, was wondering if anything happened to you it's been a while on a video.

[@HappyVending]

Thanks. My machines aren't very busy when school is out...and they haven't needed much attention.

[@alow2323]

Great video How long should the temperature hold inside the cabinet??

[@HappyVending]

I usually have the compressor come on when the cabinet hits 41 degrees...and turn off when the cabinet gets down to 34 degrees. I guess it takes about 15 minutes for the compressor to kick back on...but my machines are pretty old. Newer machines are better insulated.

hi. First I want to say I really appreciate what you post. you are an inspiration to us all. I am new to the vending machine business and half of my vending machines are outside. I have Dixie Narco 501E, Royal 660 and Royal 550. how cold does it have to be on the outside of the vending machine before cans are destroyed in the vending machine. the internal fan generates some heat and I always close the door on the machine properly.

[@HappyVending]

Good question. I suppose if it is getting down to the teens, you might want to install a heater in your machine. I know Royal sells a heater kit for machines that are in cold environments.

Bill is the Elvis Presley of the vending industry

[@HappyVending]

Thank you....thank you very much.

[@y0mP]

Would you be able to help us out with a 10 minute intro to the software? We just placed 12 machines in 6 schools and have been searching for assistance.

[@HappyVending]

Congratulations on getting a school contract. I go over the basics of the Nayax software in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bnKkm4GogstkpLM

[@y0mP]

​@HappyVending I watched that video already! We are trying to figure out how we calculate the cost of goods and sales tax from our earnings to determine our 15% profit share to the district after tax and expenses. Any idea? We have all the backend set up and are trying to integrate to VendSoft and Simplifi from CMI. No one has been able to help and we're desperate for answers lol

[@HappyVending]

@@y0mP I see. I don't get that deep into the weeds with the Nayax software so I can't really help. I also don't pay for the complete analytics interface from Nayax, so I don't see all the options. Did you try contacting Nayax tech support for help?

[@pikadroo]

Sadly my machines are mothballed right now. I just cant get product at a price people can buy for pocket change anymore.

[@HappyVending]

Find a better location to put your machines and increase the prices.

[@pikadroo]

@@HappyVendingyeah, i am not that hard core. i have them at a friends recreational business and everything went bad nobody can afford it. It was more of a hobby anyhow. If things change i’ll get back into it.

[@wheresmywatergameplay2004]

My friend in Canada has a vending machine and he told me that he received many foreign coins like the Chinese 1 yuan coin which worked as a Canadian dollar. How can this issue be solved? It resulted in a loss of income. Is it possible to upgrade the coin changer?

[@HappyVending]

The coin mech could just be sent out to be re-tuned. Or, of course, you can purchase a newer, more modern mech as long as the machine supports MDB.

[@alanunseld4942]

i dont know-if your aware but your machine is too close to the wall compressor cant breath 🙋‍♂️

[@HappyVending]

Sometimes students push on it and it moves closer to the wall. I usually pull it out when necessary.
