jerry1973 Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Hi everyone, I've been keeping my eyes out for deals on equipment. I stumbled onto a free full size snack machine, it needs some serious tlc, but it does have a bill acceptor and the coin mech seems to work. I have no idea if it will function or not, but being free the price is right. Does anyone recognize this machine and is it any good if oporational? Thanks in advance I'm having trouble posting pictures with my phone... Pictures are on their way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparta_Automation Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 You know, tuff-front the machine to make the outside look more modern. Clean the interior. As long as it functionally work, then free is always good. If you have to replace circuit board....I would pass on free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walta Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Welcome to 1975! I think you should take it to scrap yard and collect $5.00 Finding parts will be almost impossible. When it breaks it will take time to repair and your equipment will be out of order and the location will not be happy. This machine has only 24 selections today we put 40 or more selections in the same foot print. No credit display. That machine has 10 times as many wires and 4 times as many switches all of which have been corroding and tarnishing for 40 years. This thing is so old the only circuit board was in the coin mech and it was likely replace with an “update kit” from a fly by Night Company that went out of business more than 20 years ago.

sbishop Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 worst case senario is you keep the coin mech and bill acceptor and junk the rest for a few $$ You could do research and sell the parts, if it is not functional Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Repairman Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Looks like an old Electrovend/Polyvend machine. Worth $40.00 scrap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
