  1. Today
  2. Walking the pavement, knocking on doors after you have some experience with full line so you know what you're talking about.
  3. That's negatory, ghost rider. Not gonna happen. Dump that relic from the early 80s and get something newer.
  4. Mike, this should be easily duplicated in your factory when testing this specific card reader, and probably others. Why, for such an obvious request, would you need more data? That is an example of the problem with manufacturers. So is the QR code manual. Printed manuals still need to come in every cabinet of trade machines and be available for printing and downloading from your website.
  5. Curious what model the bevmax "Phoenix" refresh refers to, as I have seen this referenced on parts websites etc. Is the "Phoenix refresh" the same thing as a bevmax refresh ?
  6. Yesterday
  7. I will do that as soon as I get back to one of these machines. I have put 4 out so far and I have 2 left to setup.
  8. Hello all! First time poster, relative newbie to the field. Starting up a vending company. I purchased this Snacktron 2 with a drink machine on location, and I'm wondering if this is upgradeable to take card ? I've attached a photo of the visible portion of the main board. It's a 8 pin. I believe I would have to get a converter from the 8pin to MDB 6pin but I'm unsure how to figure out exactly what I'd need In that same breath, is it safe to assume any old 9pin can be converted to MDB with an adapter ?
  9. Can you share a picture of your reader setup on here or directly to me? I need the reader model # and to confirm installation technique to avoid having engineering chase a ghost. If anyone else has issues with swiping a card (due to space constraints) on V21 machines, please share model and a pic (or link) here and I'll compile and share the list with engineering.
  10. I'm looking in to getting back in. but using full size machines. drink snack. combo . What are some good ways to. locate them .
  11. The setup instructions, manual, space to sales charts, diagnostics, etc can be accessed from your phone using the QR code that is on the motor cover. This started about 2 years ago along with removing the inner door labels. This comes from having young, "tech friendly" people in marketing.
  12. Its possible that the proper rear spacer would resolve that. These bottler machines have no diagrams inside to give precise directions. I need to download the PDF manual. While that's not terrible, I wish the most basic, simple directions were posted inside. I might be unreasonable here but that's how I feel. However, it's still the best stack vendor out there hands down.
  13. I worked with an Independent Pepsi bottler last week having issues out of 16oz Rockstar. I found that they were being lax on the rear spacer position being too far back. This allows the product to be loaded further back in the cabinet than it should be which throws off the alignment with respect to the drinks in the stack priming into the proper position in the cradle. When everything is pulled and loaded to the front of the machine, the setup instructions that engineering shared should be good. That said, we all have our ways of doing certain things. I'll share your feedback and go from there.
  14. I'm just not a fan of having to use all top 3 buttons, horizontally, and button 4 which is below button 1. It makes for interesting results when I'm in a hurry. For the energy drinks, I'll have to retest but we kept getting double vends until the slider was placed basically in the middle.
  15. Dixies misreport with certain eproms but .41 is good.
  16. The .41 eprom should fix it and the proof is that your other working machines already have it. You're questioning the obvious. If that doesn't fix it then the issue is on the Nayax side; perhaps the card reader needs a firmware update.
  17. Or just stick with micromech and put a VN2501 in it with an appropriate T-blocker harness.
  18. Enjoy your retirement. Are you going to fish, golf...whittle tree branches into toothpicks?
  19. After over 60 years in the bulk field, it has come time to slow down. I have routes for sale in western NC, upstate SC, and east TN. Would be willing to sell by towns or areas. For more info please message me. Thank you in advance for taking the time.
  20. The 511 has an available mbd port. If you have or can source the harness for this, you’d be able to use a VN2512 and an mdb mech. This would put you in position to add a card reader down the road if needs be. Please know that it’s likely that a card reader will not report some sales if a reader is installed. Either way, using mdb coin and dbv will be a step in the right direction.
  21. The Chameleon door is here to stay but we can review and hopefully address the consumer panel space constraints. I’m not sure what you mean by confusing button setup? Can you elaborate a bit on that? Regarding the nuts, most trade machines are sold through distributors who installs the coinage. Some bottlers purchase with coinage installed but many of those install their own as well. Regarding setting the product step. The setup guide still shows this setting as forward or back. No 3rd setting. While most of us look under a set the product step more precisely to hold the second can in the cradle, engineering was able to pass the vend tests with the current suggested setup. Keep the feedback coming and I’ll do put it in front of the right people.
  22. It's a cantaloupe engage currently. It only wants a chip anyway, but even if I had a g11, you can't fully swipe a card because it's in a depression. I think simply making the bubble front like previous models would resolve this (flat metal on right, bubble front on the rest). I also don't care for the confusing button setup but that's a minor issue. Also, I guess a factory worker used an impact to screw the 11/32 nuts on so tight that they actually imbedded in the bill acceptor where the studs are lol. Not a design issue though. Overall, the 721 is fantastic. If I could recommend one simple change (not including the card reader issue), it would be to put some kind of marker or point of reference on the bottom rotor so you know where to put the slides for 16oz energy drinks. We sell so many but it's hard to see well when we prep the machines. We just test vemd it to confirm the slide is good for 3-deep but it seems simple to put a mark on the rotor.

  24. I need to replace my Coinco BA30B validator with something that will be compatible with my Vendo Univendor drink machine. Most advice says to replace with an MEI validator with MARS harness. However, does it matter which specific MEI validator? How can I know whether it will be compatible with my machine? Still new to this, so I very much appreciate any advice. Thank you!
  25. nice video by a forum member. Plus, LMK if you need the latest eprom.
  26. Last week
  27. Below is a quote from AngryChris. This type of feedback is very valuable and is appreciated. I've shared this with engineering and they're asking for more specifics behind the card readers being fit in the consumer panel area. If it's hard to swipe a card on a reader that is mounted within the consumer panel on a V21 Series vendor (521,621, 721, 821) please share make/model of the reader with me here. I'll compile a list and share with engineering so they can recheck fit and functionality. Engineering will be installing a sample unit on a standard 721 following the installation instructions provided by the manufacturer for this test. Prior to sharing a complaint, please confirm proper installation as recommended by the device's manufacturer. "Although I absolutely hate the design of the bubble front 9 select machine. It's about impossible to swipe a card no matter where you put the reader except when it's directly on the plastic." - AngryChris Reader Make/Model ?
