orsd Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I thought that it would be nice to start a list of machines that have been total pieces of garbage that should be avoided at all costs. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moondog Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Antares, Genesis and Seaga would head the list - other candidates for the hall of shame might include Savamco, AVT and Gaines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tc vending Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Would not buy a national vendors machine. I agree sega is at the top of the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cvending Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 TC, are you not happy with National machines? I find them to be extremely reliable machines, especially for the past 20 yrs or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tc vending Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Well, its the oldest machine I got ready to retire it. Maybe the new ones are better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZVendor Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Rather than create a black list, let's make a list of good investments: Dixie Narco, Vendo, Royal, Automatic Products, National/Crane, AMS and USI/Selectivend/FSI/Wittern. Now, keep in mind that there will be specific models from all of these manufacturers that you should avoid, primarily for age, but also for a variety other reasons. You must, however, give us specific model numbers in order to get specific advice and answers. A list of bad machines will be a mile long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaTurtle Vending Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 LOL.. Ones man garbage is anothers treasure I guess. I agree the Antares machine blows chunks. However, I have a little niche I use them for and they have made me a pretty penny. Especially when you can pick one up for nearly nothing.
