Beer980 Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 I like them but I only have one double right now. They seem to be built well but I just placed it a week ago and have not been back to see yet. Did you buy them from Ebay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thrash Posted February 21, 2008 Author Share Posted February 21, 2008 can you vend the right amount of Dentyne Ice from the segea'S? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVendingMan Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Jr, The good and the bad of the Seaga machines are very similar to every other machine out their except maybe Northwestern or Beaver. I can help you with locating parts. call 815-297-9500 and ask for ext 160 Jamaal or travis or www.seagamfg.com these two have been more then helpful in my routes and keeping them running with minimum hassles. Vandalism is the largest issue for bulk machines and no one manufacture has this down pat. If the can they will period. Chaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVendingMan Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 The Dentine Ice candies can be set to vend in either the pan candy wheel or the gumball wheel. How many pieces are you wanting to vend per quarter? If you can not control the amount that you want, the pan candy wheel is better to adjust for closer amounts of candy to vend. The gumball whell is adjustable too but not as finite in the adjustment. Chaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beer980 Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Thrash maybe you can buy a pack or two from the store to expierment with. The DI machine vends two per quarter on average. Play with the settings and let us know how it turns out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thrash Posted February 26, 2008 Author Share Posted February 26, 2008 hey i got a question about when i put a quater in the coin mechinsm and turn some time it wont vend ? i loosened the rod in the middle it seemed to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beer980 Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 That seems a little odd. I have not had this happen to mine that I know of yet. I don't see how this would relate because the coin mech is a solid piece and the globe rests on the frame. Maybe the coin mech needs some lube or has a screw loose. I don't have one to look at right now because my only one is on location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrash Posted February 28, 2008 Author Share Posted February 28, 2008 do you tighten the screw on the coin mech. tight? what about the teeth on the wheel cause the rod runs right in the middle of it? what kind of candy do you vend out of it ,I vend skittels they work good and gum balls. i have peanut MnM's in 1 but i had to bend the metal piece back so i could get the proper amount.

Beer980 Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Right now I have plain M&M's on one side and 1430 Bubble King gumballs on the other. It is in a 20+ year old paint and body shop that is about 500 sqft. It has two waiting chairs and my machine next to a water cooler. There is enough room for 4 people to stand in this waiting room. I don't think my sales are from customers waiting but from the few workers. It did drag in $9 the first three weeks so it is not bad for a dive of a place.

sweetstop Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 I have 1 millenea, its in my house for the kids, I got it from sams online $46 delivered, Seemed like a nice machine except for one thing, Sometimes when you put a quarter in the bottom of the coin seems to slip back a little just as you start to turn and then jams up, this has happened now about 5 times, I am reluctant to buy more unless this is a fluke? You have to dismantle the machine and pry the coin out. Anyone have this happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T BIRD Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 That has not happened to me Sweet Stop. I had a big problem yesterday. Placed a Seaga double in a Lowes breakroom. The PMMs were coming out and out and out for a 25 cent vend. I had a problem setting the right amount of PMMs to come out of this Seaga. So I removed the metal candy thing that you can set to vend different amounts. I thought that did the trick cause I tested it and it was giving 8-9 PMMs. I was dead wrong! What setting is good for PMMs? Steve? Anyone? ( I gotta go out to Lowes this morning. I am gonna switch the machine with an Elite ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidsurvz Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Hey T-Bird, I adjust mine to the maximum opening for the Millenia candy wheel I vend 5 to 7 Pmm's per vend (avg. 6) That seems to work well. Steve (Caserri) does the same if memory serves me correctly. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caserri Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Hey T-Bird, Steve (Caserri) does the same if memory serves me correctly. That is correct. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
