OK I got a retro coca cola machine for free knowing it was broke and now I'm trying too fix it.

Here's a few detail.

1. I know I'm getting power too the big circuit bord.. we'll I belive I am because the silver part on the circuit bord is getting warm when I plug it in. PIC INCLUDED

2. There's a little circuit bord with a switch and an led light. Looks burnt.. switch is also melted and not able too move.. WHERE CAN I FIND THIS PART. PIC INCLUDED

3. Can I use an electrical tester on these too see where my power stops?

4. AM I ABLE TOO SPLICE THESE WIRES AND USE WIRE CONNECTORS TOO HOOK IN A NEW CIRCUIT BORD?

5. Fuse is good not blown..

I believe it's that little circuit bord that fried just because there a black splotch on the green circuit bord.. don't belive it's suppose too be black lol and the switch is melted.. and led does not turn on on the same piece...

the little board has power switch and LED. the power switch is common slide type product. if you take pictures of the damaged unit (top, bottom and sides) - and make them aligned / square next to something with scale (measure tape, ruler) one could check for marking and determine exact contact configuration, size etc.

for example

stay focused... size of the vending unit and the power supply are not really relevant.
objective here is to determine marking/shape/size/wiring of the defective parts that need to be replaced - switch and board.
why don't you post some pictures of the marking on the switch? something that would help determine drop in replacement without need to modify cabinet...

yup... that is good... aligned and with measure tape next to it as expected.

don't see any part number but the switch rating is marked and one can estimate spacing between mounting holes to be 17mm. do not see the bottom side of the board. that would help confirm contact dimensions and what the connections are.
