JCS Vending Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Can anyone tell me what these machines are and is $75 each a good price? (used) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PerformaVending Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Vendesign carousel machines. Solid metal, 4 selections, and they appear to be in good shape. $75 isn't bad in my book, but these things need spots with a LOT of traffic to warrant the size and extra selection. Search "Vendesign" and you should find some threads to help you out. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Falcon Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 The thing I don't like about this machine is that it holds too much candy and this could be a problem with stales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PerformaVending Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 There are ways to bring down the internal volume so you're not using as much candy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCS Vending Posted July 30, 2012 Author Share Posted July 30, 2012 I ended up picking them up for $60 for the 2 working and $40 for the one where it vends without a quarter in it. I figure I could use it for a parts machine because coin mechs for these are $35 each! They definitely need paint, a good cleaing and some oil or something on the stiff coin mechs. Hoping I got a good deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shepherdsflock Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Is it possible to vend 1" toy capsules with these machines? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PerformaVending Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Is it possible to vend 1" toy capsules with these machines? Not likely. I heard that there was a company that made a "custom" capsule setup for the Vendesign machines, but I heard they were ridiculously expensive. I'd link it in, but I can't find a website.

Hoping I got a good deal. On the coin Mechs I good shot of Brake cleaner from a auto parts store works wonders. It dries and evaporates quickly also. To Lube I like using something called Lock ease It is a Graphite solution spray. The pressure from the spray allows it to get in to small areas and it a dry film kind of lubricant so it won't attract dust. The spray also evaporates fairly quickly just leaving the graphite. What happens with WD 40 and other sprays it just gives the dust something to attach it self to and makes things hard to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
