I would only buy this route if there is potential to upgrade at least half of the locations to gumballs, toys and tattoos. You also need to find out if the seller is paying commission to some or all of his locations.

First amusement machine - is this a good claw machine?
dkochan replied to OVend's topic in Amusement Vending
Yes, that Betson Big Choice crane is a good crane machine. It was made by Coast to Coast. It is a Toy Taxi/Hot Stuff clone. The claw strength (Strong, Weak and Win) is adjustable and so is the win rate. The manual for this crane machine is available here: -
I noticed that the Sam's Club stores stopped selling 850 count gumballs. You will have to bite the bullet and buy direct from Concord.

Contact Camlock Systems at (860) 414-5955. They sell replacement locks with your own custom key code. The part # for the lock is LYP158A. Camlock's LYP158A locks are much better than the factory locks. You can also order locks for your NW/A&A/Oak/Eagle machines (Part #P158A). You can use one key for both your P158A and LYP158A locks. Both locks from Camlock cost about $9.50 each.

Contact SSM Vending at 877-213-0500. They also sell NW parts.

Baton Lock and Cam Lock sell bulk vending locks. They will assign your company a unique key code. Baton Lock is less expensive. I paid $5.53 per lock from Baton Lock when I placed an order at the NBVA show in March.

Contact Jose at NEN (they own Rainbow Crane Mfg). His phone number is 800-466-3711. He is very helpful and will tell you what parts you will need to order. You have Rainbow 24" crane. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk

I suggest replacing the primary control board (PCB). I had a similar problem which I fixed by replacing the primary control board. You can send the faulty PCB to factory for repair.

Round Beaver machines are rock solid machines. I have a bunch of them on my route. I never had had a problem with the plastic bodies. I have had to replace the round globes on a few of the machines that had globes crack. Otherwise, they're excellent machines. Instead of putting in live displays in the round Beavers, I print out photo displays from JPEG files that I get from my suppliers.

I picked up six Buzz Bites machines for free. I took out the two locks, the $0.50 coin mech and the stand. I scrapped the rest of machine. The parts I pulled fit the LYPC machines I brought for $1.74 each. Sent from my HTCEVODesign4G using Tapatalk 2

Where do you buy Polar Mint Gum from? Does it work OK in Dentyne Ice machines?
-
No, I did not receive any return phone calls from SuperPro Vending. I am about to pull Dentyne Ice machines from all of my locations.
-
I left four voice-mails with Super Pro Vending Group (http://www.superprovending.com) because I need to order some more Dentyne Ice gum and a coin mech for a Dentyne Ice machine. None of my phone calls have been returned.
