catch me if you can Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I am strongly considering buying an all american chicken machine myself. How long did it take for delivery once it was ordered? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havending Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I am strongly considering buying an all american chicken machine myself. How long did it take for delivery once it was ordered? They ship from ny. Takes couple days to get them when I order. Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catch me if you can Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 How long is the average ROI on one of these at a kid friendly location such as a family restaurant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will either be stolen or vandalized in an unsupervised location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Falcon Posted April 2, 2013 Author Share Posted April 2, 2013 As promised my collection after four weeks was $87.50 and that was without a DBA I'm sure if I had one instaled I could of came close to doubeling that but I guess it was not to shaby for my first collection.

newheart53 Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Way to go sounds like a decent take for 4 weeks. Are you able to install a dba. I;ll bet that increase sales if installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tbuford Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Maybe someone will start doing an "All Chinese Chicken Machine" and the price will come down about 70% to 80%. If that happens Tbuford will be buying some. That collection sounds awesome though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toad Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 If there is no scale in there, buy one and get one in there. They do over $100 in most low income laundries, no product or electricity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twilliams76 Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Ok, excuse my ignorance but chicken machine? Would that be a chicken vending machine. I've never heard of this. Is it vending sandwiches, or fried chicken or what? Honestly, I'm not trying to be funny this is just my first time hearing of a chicken machine. Please elaborate...

dogcow Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Glenn is there a cheap place to get those scales I have a lot of laundromat aaccts I looked at impulse scales but the cost seems kinda high Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogcow Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Don't bother w a dba in a laundromat u don't need it half my accts are laundries and I take out all the dbas it doesn't really affect sales and much less hassle cause u don't have kids jamming crap in there. Coin mechs take far more abuse than a dba. Try it but its doubtful ur overall sales will go up much since the laundry has changers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sherlock Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 I think you can get refurbed Impulse Scales through Impulse for a bit less than the cost new. Should come with some warranty too. I don't run any scales but have researched them...seems the Impulse ones have a repuations for being tough as tanks, so refurbed Impulse Scales shouldn't give one too much trouble. Ok, excuse my ignorance but chicken machine? Would that be a chicken vending machine. I've never heard of this. Is it vending sandwiches, or fried chicken or what? Honestly, I'm not trying to be funny this is just my first time hearing of a chicken machine. Please elaborate... Chicken machine vends a plastic egg that has a 2" prize in it, much like a 2" capsule vendor. An older version has been around for approx 30yrs. Here's a more recent model made by Parsal: Dogcow I have a guy in the arcade/crane business that has used ones for $50 atleast the last time I spoke to him all though the shipping might be too much to make it worth your while.feel free to pm. me if your intrested. At $50 the shipping should be WELL WORTH IT! That's a great price if the machines are Impulse brand and in anything close to route-ready working condition.

If the scales are Mayoni , I wouldn't buy them, look so ugly and dated and not nearly as good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
