WayneB Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Hello TVF, Still a noob and I ran across this... http://louisville.craigslist.org/for/4659199121.html Can you folks tell me what they are so I can look up more info. I'll probably pick them up either way but I am curious and not meeting for a couple days. And yes I know triples suck and NW, AA, OAK etc.. but 6 heads for this price I think I'm game. Both are keyed the same. My biggest question is will they vend 1" gumballs without modification? I want to put one in a hood liquor store with gum and 1" capsule and the other at tire shop, no clue what to sell there but sure I can get location. Should I pop on this?

sweetstop Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Yep evervends I have 100's of them Will not do 1" GB tried many different ways I run the small gumballs in those and they do well Solid machine metal coin mechs and doors Weakest thing is the spill try Other than that I have any parts you need if needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WayneB Posted September 14, 2014 Author Share Posted September 14, 2014 Going to meet the dude in an hour. If I get them I am stopping at Sams and then will try to locate before I get back home. LOL that would be something. Anyway, I am thinking either small gum or chicle, runts and skittles. One bag each and let the chips fall. Sound right?

WayneB Posted September 15, 2014 Author Share Posted September 15, 2014 Made the deal and located both. Mike and Ikes don't vend well from these so I was forced to use expensive candy, mm, skittles, reeses. Let's see... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WayneB Posted October 3, 2014 Author Share Posted October 3, 2014 Went back to ground zero yesterday for unrelated business and they informed me that 1 mech was jammed but sold out. The other was jammed because of the m&i issue and the skittles were free vending. So I pulled it only to find that all three issues were machine related and it had made $42 in 2 weeks. So I think it's a keeper and I was stoked. Very inspiring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WayneB Posted October 22, 2014 Author Share Posted October 22, 2014 Went back again today and the stinking pm&m mech was jammed again. This time it jammed as soon as I left it. It's a pm&m getting stuck in the wheel and you can't force it, like concrete. Only pulled $15 because of it. Thinking of switching this out for a a&a double. The other evervend is vending m&m, skittles & reeses without problems. I am thinking I have the dispense amount to low and it's causing bigger pieces not to clear???

rodney69 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 its possible, how many are you vending? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WayneB Posted October 22, 2014 Author Share Posted October 22, 2014 I was going for 4 but it's more like 4/5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetstop Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 These machines are finicky with larger product For pmm open it up a little more, or just don't vend them You can get away with about 6-8 pcs so profit margin goes down but if it's high volume you can still make it work. The waterwheel design tries to chop them and if it jams some people turn too hard and it can strip them out causing free spin Any questions just pm me I have a lot of experience with these machines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WayneB Posted October 23, 2014 Author Share Posted October 23, 2014 So I am going to pull this evervend from the tire shop and replace it with a china combo I have at my day job. It's a 10 select snack 5 select drink 1 bulk head mechanical type deal. I figure this is the right pasture to put this POS for retirement. I will put pm&m in the bulk head. Back to the evervend, Since they used the top lid that slides off as an ashtray I need one of those and they tried to force the mech when it jammed so I need one because while it still works it's loose now. I also need a spill tray since that made a good place for cigs and smashing skittles. Guess it's time to PM sweetstop about those parts. But in the end it was a 60 dollar honeymoon month for a triple so I expect the combo will do alright however bulk candy in a small machine might have been the magic sauce here. Now if it was in the public area of this place it would suck but the back office is a place the "workers" and there buddies hang and discuss "business" on their big couch. Always 10/15 people in room when I go there. Glad I decided to locate in the back in this case. Super ghetto but best bulk candy customers ever, love those guys.
