bcron Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Does anybody have any experience with AMS vending machines or know of their history...repairs, reliability, etc? Doesn't look like one of the reputable ones to me but wanted to see if you guys had any thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snack dude Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 I have one I bought used several years ago. It is a glassfront cold food/ bottle machine. The Compressor was dead when I bought it, Replaced it and havent had any problem with it at all. Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moondog Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Actually, they have a great reputation. They're made by Royal Vendors in West Virginia - I think the factory might be in N. Carolina. I wish I could land a couple myself but we just don't see too many of them on the west coast. They might be the best one out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technivend Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 AMS is a wonderful machine. It may be lacking in some bells and whistles but it is a very reliable machine. They have been building the Sensit in one shape or form since about 1997. They are not a part of Royal but there is a history there. Mr Steeley who owns AMS built the Royal machines and then sold to Royal Vendors. After a brief period of time he decided he wanted back in the industry and came up with AMS. Mr Steeley's history in the industry is a starred one that I won't desecrate with incorrect information. If I remember correctly he was deeply involved with the development of Corneilius and Dixie Narco as well. His story is one that should be told......
