havending Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I have never seen this gumball wheel. It has slopes so the gumball slides right in the hole. It looks like it will vend 850 and 1080 Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
will.vend Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Actually that is a very old wheel im mot sure who made it I think oak. Problem with it is there is no agitator spring and the wheel itself is very shallow and will misvend as well as chew up the gum. I have a box full of these only metal, hillbilly and I added an agitator spring but it still misvends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caserri Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I wonder why they'd put a very old wheel in a brand new machine? That unused price label in the upper left corner suggests that this is a brand new machine? Although the rod seems a bit tarnished so I may be wrong.

caserri Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I can't be positive. I am just assuming its a price label that hasn't been stuck yet. It could just as easily be a piece of garbage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dperry Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I'm assuming it's a new A&A brand machine that has this wheel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vendguy Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 This is a rocket wheel made by Oak, used to dispense 1080ct. This is a rocket wheel made by Oak, used to dispense 1080ct. no agitation necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillbilly Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 The old style wheel was made by Oak as well. It was for 1430 and 1900ct gumballs. This looks like the holes are bigger so probably adapted to handle the 1080 and 850 size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havending Posted February 16, 2012 Author Share Posted February 16, 2012 I double checked with AA and hillbilly is on the money. Do any of you do 1080 what's the cost? Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfleet32 Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I run about 60 machines with 1080. My cost is either 21.00 or 23.00 per box depending on me adding on my order to my distributors standing order. (if that's what you meant by cost) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillbilly Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I double checked with AA and hillbilly is on the money. Do any of you do 1080 what's the cost? Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk I bought 6 cases of 1080 and 1430 and mixed it with 2 cases of 850. Cost was right on 21-23 a case. Mixed it all together. Never heard a peep out of customers except that they liked the new flavors. I used the Fruit Stand from A&A. Sales spiked but I'm sure they will drop some with time. The extra gumballs made up for having to pay a little shipping even though I add to my toy capsule orders. I did away with my Sams membership card since all I was buying was the gumballs. Plus I save the mileage from going there and the time. So as far as I am concerned it was a win win situation. I also do 8500ct in a few locations for 2 for .10. Against .25 competition. They do decent. I use the old chicklet wheel for those in Oak Vista's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
