IN our area we can put ONLY Coca Cola products in their machines. Same with Pepsi. However, 7Up/Snapple does allow a few of the selections to be others.

$1.25

Most of my schools are removing all the vending machines.

I do the same thing when storing machines. I love my pallet jack!!

I went up from $1.00 to $1.25 on my regular accounts and up to $1.35 for the few commission accounts I have. Sales died, but covid hit right after I did it.

Plus ANOTHER $5000.00 for shipping !!!!!!!!!!

The USI machines I have are easy to operate. Changing from cans to bottles is a matter of pressing a few buttons. The instructions are easy. Hardly ever have to fix one, but when I do it's really easy to do. Changing motors is easy. I've even changed out the refer in one and it was easy enough.

It's pretty easy. Unscrew the front cover that covers the rods. Pull out the rod that goes through the front AND rear motor that you want to replace. I'd recommend only pulling it out far enough to clear the rear motor. Make sure you catch the little spacer that will probably fall out so you can put it back in. Unplug the motor and just pull it out. Plug in the new motor, line it up with the hole, and the hole through the large cam (drink dispenser) and the spacer, and push the rod back in. Test it. Then screw the cover back on. All done.

I use USI (Wittern) snack machines. They work fine almost all the time and when I do need to repair something they are very easy to repair.

You got to actually talk to your Coke rep??? WOW!! I can't get mine to call me back...ever!!! I don't even know who it is now. They won't tell me when I call in an order. When they "forget" to deliver my product I call them back and I am ALWAYS told that my rep will call me. Since our bottler changed hands a few years ago I haven't been able to talk to a rep at all. The old bottler was great, but the new one that bought it is terrible.

I’ll try that.

It does display the correct amount when pressed. It is not a soda machine, snack only. How would the motor have coupled suddenly? It was working fine until a few weeks ago when it just started not working. I don't know of any sold out switch and any of the selections, where would that be. I test other empty selections with money and they work fine. I don't think I want to mess with the programming just yet, just sounds like too much of a hassle for one selection.

I agree. In my experience, going more than half up will put too much weight on the bottom and cause jams with those softer bottles.

I agree, Fred sounds like a good name for it.

I've been playing with this machine. It's still on location and I still can't get that one selection to work with money. It still works in test mode, but no one can buy anything from that one selection.
