nzvendor Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 I have the option to buy a machine that stands 1.8m tall and dispenses bouncy balls that are 60-62mm in diameter. I can get it for a sweet $150.00! Mint condition, all in working order. Has anyone had experience with these kind of machines? They have a big globe with a spiral thing that the balls zoom down to the bottom. It is called a Tornado. Does anyone know where I can buy bulk bouncy balls from? That are 60mm in diameter?..

G-man422 Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 I believe A&A sells the balls. But if they're in a gumball machine (like the one you state) thats risky business. Just make sure it is Very clear that they are bouncy balls, and not gumballs in there. Also you will need a "warning" sticker (talk to Steve).

The biggest I can find on A&A's site is 45mm, so the 60+mm size balls will not be mistaken for gumballs. Actually, I don't even know if they make bouncyballs larger than 45mm. Are you sure it's for 60+mm balls? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiley Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 The largest I've ever seen are 49mm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzvendor Posted June 8, 2008 Author Share Posted June 8, 2008 Yeah you can buy 60mm+ ones from China in bulk. They are just smaller than a tennis ball. But i'm sure the hopper could be changed right? And it does look like a gumball machine...just a very very big one haha! I'm sure people would be able to tell that they are bouncy balls - especially once they get one out of the machine and find that its rubber lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jax Snacks Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Be careful buying those special bouncy ball machines. The problem with most of them is that they jam when filled over half way due to the weight of the balls. I bought a route from a lady and she had one of them (not your model however) and it was always "out of order" :X. She warned me never to fill it more than half way. In fact she had thrown away 4 others that were always jamming. I replaced it with a NW Super 80 ($120 new plus shipping) and filled it with 49mm balls and have not had one complaint . Never seen the 60mm balls before. Ask the seller about jams when the machine is filled. Good luck. Jax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West Coast Vend LLC Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Here's one from Candymachines.com http://www.candymachines.com/Super-2-Bouncy-Ball-Machine-P122C34.aspx It vends BB's up to 49mm. They also sell bouncy balls if you are looking for a place to buy them. Here's another, pictures below, from gumballs.com http://www.gumballs.com/bouncy.html They also sell the products you may be looking for. Please note: I am just providing these websites for your viewing and have not bought anything from them. Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzvendor Posted June 8, 2008 Author Share Posted June 8, 2008 Thanks Gary! Those sites are really helpful. On a side note, it looks like it can dispense 2inch-1inch capsules! So i'm in with a grin on this machine I think Thanks for the feedback guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzvendor Posted June 8, 2008 Author Share Posted June 8, 2008 I took the plunge and bought the machine!! $150.00 isn't too big an investment for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West Coast Vend LLC Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 No problem. I am glad it all worked out. Please let me know how it does and which company you used for the large size balls. Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
