funny. I meant go ahead and start with crap machines if that is your budget. just don't expect them to last too long. duh

so it's not what you got? It's what you do with it?

also, to keep the clear plastic from yellowing too fast. put a headlight uv coating on them, just like they do for plastic car headlights now. I like this vendors design. now you need to look for deals on them so you have a stock of parts and things for them. even a modern 3 head unit didn't have some features these did.

the manual should go over trouble shooting. the system is sort of complicated. could be a lot of reasons it don't work. did you run diagnostics on it?

ah, no speak italian?

nice. the recording should alternate languages. at least English and Spanish thou. also, it should have a timed routine too, i.e. the longer they sit without paying the stronger the recordings should get. to a point of getting rude, but no cussing. that will make it annoying to keep sitting there.

nice. like wassis name said thou, you need to be mechanicaly inclined you should be able to take one apart down to at least the basic moduals and put it back together. err, cause how many chair techs are in your town? and what if it's after hours or weekend when one goes down and you cant call a tech at the factory.

I seen some of these where the owners fixed the no pay no sit problem. a low alarm which goes off when you sit in them. and goes off when you insert money.

yep, I once wanted to buy a Bikecaffe system. but they wanted 18.500 before they would give me any facts them I had to come to their offices in colorado for a weeks training on my dime. then pay the last 20.000 from operating the business. way much for a gourmet coffee bike cart

Massage chairs are out there. many use all custom parts. and many manufactors come and go quick. if you dont break a shaft or strip a gear. motors can be rebuilt at motor places. the money accepter is prolly stock. timer? anyones guess. basicly you are betting the company survives. err, dont put them in any places with rodents or bugs that like to chew.

err, well those short round things are prolly soda cans. lol

Soda expires? woah. I even see expire dates on water now. so that's what killed the dynosaurs, drinking expired water...

thats not bad considering a new modern coffee machine starts at around 5 to over 10 grand. yeah, thou it uses special supplys and parts thou. these machines are still a fine deal. I bought a old ap 213 that needed a tone of work and reprogramming. but I got a 8 grand machine for around 3 grand. and it took a month to get it together and make it work right.

this machine is complicated. you should set one up in your office home or shop and learn it thouroly. setup, programming and cleaning. I never played with one myself, but if it's like a AP machine, just learning to program and setup the recipes is a lot of fun on it's own.

franchise vending biz are hard to do. and you pay thru the butt for a cheap machine. if you know how to maintain coffee machines you can buy them used from around 2000.00 and up. and getting supplies and parts is easy. just subcribe to a vending trade magazine. and new machines are around 8000.00 too but you buy and finance them as you want and no one will hold you to a contract for a over priced machine.
