Starcat Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 I see a lot of V-line machines for sale. they look pretty solid but i dont know anything about them. thoughts? also the guy who tried to sell them to me, i stuck a quarter in and it wouldnt turn, so i dont know if it was a scam or if it was broken.. but it was 3 machines that didnt turn.

QuikVend Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 There is a reason you keep seeing those same names pop up, they are solid reliable machines. They hold up over time and have been used by the professionals for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vendtex Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 I purchased a route with three doubles of the v line variety and within 2-3 months we replaced them all due to one problem or another Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take the round globes off and use a 300 Oak globe too. If you want a picture of how it looks give me a text. I have done quite a few that way.

PerformaVending Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 I have had V-Lines before, comparable to LYPC and the "Silent Sales Force" machines that came before them. Cheap Chinese plastic junk, with sticky coin mechs. Best part involved was the pipe stand- it's tough to mess up a pipe stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two out side machines could be repainted the proper red and fetch a nice price as antiques. The top machine, I wish the pic was better, it's older but can't tell if the globe is a newer or older, if older it also is collectible. If you could get it for fifty bucks and add some elbow grease you would have a start on a collection or some nicer vintage machines to sell.

vendtex Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 It's a metal band that the sell that screws into the base and protects the plastic. Also makes it easier to collect Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodney69 Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 There's so many people selling used or reconditioned Oaks, why not get those? This is a business, use business equipment and it will last. like others have said. There's a reason for it. I started cheap. Never again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
