AngryChris Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Which models seem like the best as far as longevity and parts? Im shying away from the AMS because i believe it will need an upgrade to be reliable. I'm adding card readers too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZVendor Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Stay away from a Sensit 1 machine (one line on the display). Studios and AP120 series are both good machines with no need to put revision doors on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngryChris Posted May 26, 2017 Author Share Posted May 26, 2017 What would you advise between the 120 and studio? I'm unsure if it is SL or ST. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngryChris Posted May 26, 2017 Author Share Posted May 26, 2017 The one with the revision door is likely a 7600. I'm trying to compare machines as-is. I'm leaning toward the 122. The ideal machine has a good drop sensor, can easily mount a card reader, and will report cash sales via telemetry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flintflash Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 We always liked the AP122. Have a TON of them. Good, reliable machine. Easy to update and refurb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngryChris Posted May 26, 2017 Author Share Posted May 26, 2017 Is it easy to add a card reader? I would prefer a standalone card bezel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZVendor Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 You would need to drill the 5 holes to externally mount the card reader on the door above the control panel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngryChris Posted May 26, 2017 Author Share Posted May 26, 2017 Thank you all. It sounds like I should stick with a 122. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flintflash Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 We've mounted them with the USA Tech card readers. Just like lacateen's pictures. For an older machine, they are still pretty versatile and very reliable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walta Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Everyone should understand the financial risks they are taking! Right now the ADA trolls are going after convenience stores for wheel chair ramps and hotel pools for lifts. It is only a matter of time before they start going after vendors. Before anyone mounts a card reader on an old machine take a few minutes to read the ADA vending rules. Basically any machine with a card reader must be in 100% compliance with the latest ADA rules regardless of the machines date of manufacture.

Corvus Corax Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 I have 2 AP112S and 2 AP112S that I put revision doors on. It basically makes them brand new machines, but costs. I also have two AP122 with goldeneye. They are great too, they have MDB so adding a CC reader is easy. I put PayRange on the 122s, it took about 30sec. A CC reader should be pretty easy too. The APS should all have a punch out to add a reader.Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
