CajunCandy Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Yes, TKK I would buy it. First thing your going to need to do is upgrade the bill acceptor with a mars vn2500, they make a kit that replaces everything, that is what I would by. After that tuff front it and put it to work. mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this like a crappy polyvend or a decent machine http://albuquerque.c...3603063032.html Yep, I still use these for my "Barbarian" accounts. Great machine - solid as they come and lots of parts available through VEII. The only downside is the control board won't allow the BA to accept more than 1 bill at a time - making tough to sell things over a buck. Like Mike says, slap a VN2511 and TRC6000 setup in there and you've got the toughest machine on the block. $300 is great price as long as it doesn't need a new board or a bunch of motors.

moondog Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Said everything works looks old. How much is that validator upgrade Probably $250 for the BA and coin mech unless you've got suitable trade-ins - then you're looking at about $150 for both.Well worth doing if you want a problem free machine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could use four more of these type of machines! All I can find around this area is (junk)! I have a few like moondog calls them "barbarian" accounts that empty's my smaller machines. mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So for $550 I'd get the one listed and the 5000 snackshop..just wana make sure they are ok machines I've got one AP 4000 and about a dozen AP7600's - I don't see too many of the 5000 and 5500 series or a lot of parts for them, so I figure they didn't make huge numbers of these. Stick with that 7600 and you won't go wrong. My AP4000 is a good machine, but I was much, much younger when it was made so I would avoid buying anything that old.

Walta Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 In my opinion it is too late in the life cycle of an AP 4000 and 5000 to be a buyer. Not that is anything wrong with them in there day. This was APs first machine with a logic board. It was not designed with a bill acceptor in mind, most had a aftermarket kit installed. They were not in production nearly as long as the 6000 and 7000 models there are a lot aftermarket parts for 6-7000s. Walt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKK Posted February 12, 2013 Author Share Posted February 12, 2013 As far as upgrading is it a must? I mean of all motors work and coins and bills are accepted is there a must to upgrade all that? So that ap5000 for $250 isn't a good deal ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't paid over 125 for the ones I have.I bought control boards to upgrade them to MDB I haven't had any problems since.John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngryChris Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 As far as upgrading is it a must? I mean of all motors work and coins and bills are accepted is there a must to upgrade all that? So that ap5000 for $250 isn't a good deal ? I wouldn't bother with an AP-5000 unless it had mech and val, worked good, and was dirt cheap ($300 or LESS). Also, I wouldn't put money into an AP-5000 UNLESS it was GIVEN to me... and then I would just try to upgrade the validator for cheap. However, you can upgrade the crap out of the AP-6000/7000 series as others have mentioned. I bought a VN-2511 for about $100, spent about another $50 on a mounting kit/harnesses, and I had everything together in about an hour or more. It took me a little bit longer because I didn't realize that I had the wrong bezel when I started but it was pretty straight-forward. I am willing to spend up-to $900 on an AP-6000/7000 machine (especially the AP-6000) if the machine is in great condition and already has a good validator. However, I don't mind buying these things dirt-cheap and upgrade them myself. To think, for about $250 in upgrades, you can have a well-functioning machine. For about $750 in upgrades, you can have a drop-sensor and all MDB technology. For $1100, you can make these things look like new and act like new, but for that type of money... I would start investing into a newer model machine that already has all of the bells-and-whistles and has more parts readily available. Plus, to be honest, an AP-6000 that is in really good shape (no dents or dings on the cabinet) still looks pretty good and a lot of customers don't even realize that it's an old machine. Here's a note though, if the machine has an ardac validator in it, you REALLY want to upgrade it to a better validator. I do NOT mind Maka's compared to ardacs. I try not to hate anyone or anything but ardacs are good candidates for hating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
