Clenport M-81 lid problems

[PGBrew]

Jon,
More columns, (12). They are of the pringles design. They work ok for me but they are not as robust as the m-81. plastic parts rather than metal. You'd need to stock up on spares.

I just got some m81 machines black/red/chrome. The chrome lids are the ones causing me problems.

If I keep spinning the lid it comes off without unlocking it.
The chrome lid doesn't have a little plastic notch that keeps the lock inline. The black & red ones do have the notch and have no problem.

Clenport said to me the problem was only with the chrome machines. Are the plastic notches you mention the ones that go around the rim on the underside of the lid? I can't quite see from your photos. Both my new and older machines have the notches but just the new machines have the lid problem.

I am still waiting for the parts that Clenport sent to arrive, will let you guys know if they work.

Cheers Pete, Are you putting 12 seperate lines in the machines and have you seen an increase as a result? Are the alot more expensive than the M81's?

I will probably need a few will let Glenn know tomorrow.

Cheers

not 12 different lines, I will double up, it's increased capacity that I'm after. 4 weekly visit rather than 2 where they won't take a 2nd machine.

what is a M108?

what is a M108?

Its a clenporte sweet tower which holds 108 tubz vending rather than the standard 81 tubz vending giving increased capacity which would allow you more time between each refill.

Is there a big differance in machines?

[PGBrew]

Not a big difference, although most spares are not interchangeable. The M108 has a pringle style base. The rings are the same circumfrence as pringles with 12 divisions and the same height as an M81. the lid, coin mech & setup are the same as an M42. the barrel is similar to M42 but sized for mini cans.
