  • In this video, I go over the basics of electro-mechanical design and repair. I also fix up a pretty cool cigarette vending machine. At least it's not vape.
    UPDATE: I just found out that this machine is from the 60's, not the 50's. FAKE NEWS! What an idiot. Please replace all references to the 50's with the 60's (in general, not just for this video).

    Excellent demonstration - thanks! As one of my dad's friends would say, "from soup to nuts".

    I remember these! I would pull the coin return lever and hear a "hum click hummmmm click" as a kid in a second hand store near my home. These were in bowling allies and bars way into the late 80's early 90's believe it or not! I could buy a pack of smokes at 15 years old at the bowling ally!! (Don't smoke kids! bad, bad, bad! seriously!). Great video! I have always had a knack for taking anything apart and fixing it. Nice to learn the name of the things I was "fixin'" inside the machines. Keep the videos coming!

    Gotta love the bluetooth enabled vacuum lol! I didn't know anything like a coinop cigarette machine existed, and it is the most flavour country thing I have ever seen!

    I just discovered your channel yesterday and immediately subscribed. I recognized the amount of effort you put into explaining the subject matter, the diagrams, voice overs, humor, editing, etc. it's extremely well done. I can imagine it takes a mountain of hours to produce one video and to compress that into an entertaining (less than 20 minute) video shows your true talent. I hope you continue to make more videos in the future!

    Nice fix, and good product placement at the end. I don't smoke but you'd have to convert that machine for credit card use for today's economy.

    Fantastic job of explaining electromechanical machine operation. I have restored several juke boxes in the past, so this was a fun video for me. Subscribed, keep up the good work and humor!

    In the 60s I was a teenager who smoked. I had mixed experiences with such machines; about a third of the time they'd keep my money but not give me my smokes. Being a teenager I wasn't supposed to smoke so it was hard to get refunds even if there was someone in charge nearby. Ah, the good old days. I quit smoking in @72 but I still miss that addicting habit!

    With all the domino's analogies. Surprised the video wasn't sponsored by Domino's Pizza.

    Sorry for your loss. Small world. Just found your UA-cam. And was that a Sega Super Giga you were bringing in? I was going to ask you if you come across any Como Hollycranes. I would be interested. I passed on a nice one cause my truck was having a problem.

    What would happen when the credit rod gets pushed to the highest position and you keep inserting money ?

    Is there a max price you can set for this machine, or can you still get a pack of Lucky Strikes for 25¢?

  • @donaldhart8072

    Do you do repairs on a 1965 cigarette machine? Where you located?
