I know one thing about opening a Coleman vacuum with a drill and that’s that you will not be doing it with a battery power drill. What a pain! Only 3-4 more to go. Actually Greg drove by today and I am going to try some of his suggestions first: TNT, jackhammer or wrecking crane.
Wow that sucks! My Abus lock key broke in the Coleman vacuum today. What makes it worse is I only had one key and I have 3-4 more locks keyed the same. Man I am stupid and no I do not have the key number. Anyone have any hints on drilling out Abus locks without keys in them let me know.
Today I tested all the three phase legs and they all checked out fine.
My motor starter looks like one of the legs fried? One wire melted (first picture) and the terminal in the contactor melted (second and third picture) and it also blew my three phase breaker. My question is: What do you think the problem is? Is it just the motor starter? Pump motor? Who knows what the problem is? I guess I will know after I check the voltages and replace the contactor like Greg suggested.

22 degrees? I guess that is what the problem is? Maybe I need to get a new probe for the Weep Mizer so it can register the correct temperature?
There is a little chute the quarters go down to, to get to the vault. But I do not know how quarters get jammed in it. This time I just had to tap it and all the coins fell out.
After cooling off from yesterday today I fixed the problem. Below it the special color coding.

Time again for a switch replacement. I always hate replacing switches because you can never get the switch off and the switch is always stuck. This time was no exception but nothing a hammer could not fix. The only problem was all the wires fell off of the switch in the meter box. Not good. So I got angry and gave up.
I think I made the rivet stronger this time but this just keeps having problems.
Someone broke into my vendor last night and apparently the Police called Greg. Then Greg gave the Police my phone number. I was actually sleeping (1:30 am) with the phone in my pocket and did not hear them call twice somehow.
I just brought the broken piece of Plexiglas to Lowes so they could cut me a new one. For the Dilling & Harris Max-Vend II Vendor I purchased a .220 thick piece of glass x 20 7/8 x 16 5/16 inches.
