AZVendor Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 You didn't include a picture or link for the machine.
cashman Posted July 18, 2013 Author Posted July 18, 2013 Oops sorry, can't seem to get the picture to load.
Hillbilly Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 Can someone tell me the model # of this machine and is it worth picking up ? I've never seen one before. lol
ruff84 Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 Should be pretty light. Should be able to hold that much though.
cashman Posted July 19, 2013 Author Posted July 19, 2013 Ok,ok settle down I think I got it this time.Please let me know your thoughts (its a Vendo,I believe ) and if you can figure out the model # that would be great also,
AZVendor Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 That is a Vendo V407 (very small picture but the L-handle gave it away). If this machine has black plastic rotors at the bottom of each column then it would be a good machine to have. If no plastic rotors then it is a lowering-shelf machine and will be problematic and unreliable and you won't want it. There are no parts available for the lowering shelf vend assemblies and they are impossible to adjust if they don't drop cans properly. Probably $3-400 tops, as is and less if no validator, which I couldn't see in the picture.

The 407 was a very reliable machine but it was only single priced - these are pretty much making their way into man caves these days. They do make a good place to keep your beer - $300 is about right if it's working.
CajunCandy Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 I have a Vendo 345 that is old as dirt, the inner door closes off the refrigerated section and is locked in place with a slide arm, it enable you to take money and service coin mech. This is the next machine I will replace with a newer model, when it comes into my possession. This machine came out of storage unit, And yes I had to cut face to install DBA. mike
cashman Posted July 20, 2013 Author Posted July 20, 2013 Are these the Plastic things your talking about ?
AZVendor Posted July 20, 2013 Posted July 20, 2013 No, the photo of the motor indicates that the machine has lowering shelves and you may have problems with it vending cans either now or in the future. If one column won't properly drop cans in a lowering shelf machine, your only choice is to never use that column again. You can change any one of the columns over to a 16 oz water bottle but that would then be sold at the same price as soda (not usually a problem) and would be the only thing you could use that column for. If you keep looking you will find a better choice of machine than this one is.
