  1. Thanks for everyone's comments. We passed on Vendo Vue (asking price was $500) because of them. We are now looking at a refurbished Dixie Narco 5800-3 with MEI bill validator and coin mech for $3000. But Member ORSD seems to think that a 5800-3 also have problems and suggests spending $1000 to upgrade to a 5800-4. What is the problem with the 5800-3? If we invested another $1000, we'd be up to $4000. How much does a 5800-4 cost new? Again, any thoughts and help you can give will be greatly appreciated.
  2. We bought two used Fastcorp FS-01 Evolution Ice Cream Machine and put them on location with credit card readers. We use Cantaloupe for telemetry. The problem is that Cantaloupe says the machines have dexed, but we don't get any individualized dex information. How to make the dex work on these machines. Thanks. --Gary
  3. I come across four manufacturers that make robotic arm beverage machines: Dixie Narco (Model 5800); VendO Vue 30/40; Wittern Model 3561 and Royal Model 500. We have one Diixie Narco 5800 that works fine, but we are looking at purchasing a Vendo Vue 40. Does anyone have an experience with that machine or any of the other robotic arm machines? Which brand do you think is the best. Thanks in advance for your thoughts. -- Gary
  4. We just bought a used Dixie Narco glassfront beverage machine. We typically used AMS beverage machines. The AMS has a tray that can be pulled out and new product loaded behind the old product. But with the Dixie Narco, because it does not have a tray that slides out, we have to unload the old product, put in the new product, and then put the old product back in. What a hassle!! Does anyone know any tricks to make it easier to load a Dixie Narco glassfront machine? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
  5. I saw the ad in Craigslist too and called. I am retired attorney, helping my son build a vending business. I talked to Degrasse. He sent a contract that needed to be signed. The contract did not obligate them to do anything or describe what DeGrasse said on the phone the Company would do. About the only thing the Contract did was to require one's credit card number. My conclusion from reading the Contract was that this is not a legitimate company. Also, the name falsely suggests that it is associated with Coca Cola. That shows that the Company's aim is to deceive.
  6. We are new to vending (18 months) and new to this board. We have a DN2145 that is having this same problem - meaning that it keeps beeping and giving the message "Remove Product." We bought this machine and a used DN5591 from another vendor, but have not yet put either in a location. I replaced the sensor in the DN2145 with the sensor from the DN5591 (both sensors have the same part number). After doing the replacement, the DN2145 continued to beep. But I adjusted the screws in the plate around the sensor and the beeping stopped. I assumed that meant the sensor was not properly aligned and the adjustment straightened out the beam. The first bottle that I tested fell straight down and got stuck. I could not reach in to take it out. So, the sensor started beeping - because this time there really was a product that needed to be removed. I opened up the machine and got the product out, but the beeping did not stop. I unplugged the machine and plugged in back in and the beeping stopped. I then vended a second bottle. It worked fine. I vended a third bottle and it seemed to work fine -- for about 15 seconds, then the beeping started again. I have tried adjusted the screws again and unplugging and re-plugging the machine in, but I can't get the beeping to stop. I am wondering whether the replacement sensor I used could have also have been bad. If I bought a new sensor, should that fix the problem? Or, does this sound like a situation where the board is bad? If the board is bad, would cutting the wires like discussed above solve the problem? Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks. Garytvmg
