Cotton Candy Machine Repair Help

Postby mike boss » Sun Jul 10, 2022 5:58 pm

I posted this in a different section, but perhaps some of the coinop peeps might be able to assist.
I bought this machine in like 2015 & the belt just went.
I got a replacement belt from Ali Express and thought OK, I'll take it apart.
For the life of me I can not get this head/spinner off.
I can't find info online for the model, I even dug out the sellers old contact info but they've never repaired a unit.
I don't know that perhaps this thing is welded on by melted sugar or what.
But I can not get it off, I assumed it simply rotated off (as you can see it has a part that sicks up with threading...which I've now damaged by Vice Grips) -- but that doesn't seem to work.
Perhaps I'm missing something easy so I thought I'd ask !

* NEWER units seem to have a collar type set up that removes and then the top lifts off. For this particular model the top will not simply lift over the head of the machine. The head needs to be removed. I looked for a set screw, something - but I'm lost.
My brother in law tends to be handy, but he, my wife and I can't crack this code.
