sams86gn Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I'm thinking about buying a few new oak knock offs made by a and a along with some northwestern super 60s. What do you guys think of these knock offs? I'm most concerned with these machines reliability Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GagesVending Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 A&A machines are solid. I've had a couple issues with the A&A PO89 (Vista) coin mechs, but the rest of the machine is pretty much Oak/Eagle quality. The PN95 (Super 60) machines are very good. I think the mechs on those are good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

titandist Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Get the Oak Vistas, they are the best you can buy, can vend anything from candy to 1.3 inch capsules without any problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillbilly Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 The po89s aren't knockoffs anymore The parts are no longer interchangeable Is this a new change? I've interchanged everything they have. The body parts are a little off on fit but they will interchange. Only difference that I know of is the angle of the front cuts where the mech slides in.

I been buying them steady for a long time and have seen no changes at all. I will say last few times that the price must have gone up a bit because now they are only 10 bucks less than buying NW from Sams. I buy supremes. Machines are fine though no real issues. They have a good heavy base thick metal and thick plastic sides. Just wish they had a proper sticker for the side by side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shepherdsflock Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 I wish they had a quick collect base like Oak and NW and the PN This is the main reason I won't be buying many more A&A machines. I will still buy their racks, but I've grown so fond of the speed of service for my NW machines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
