AZVendor Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Your Lance machine is an ancient Fawn 25H but you have one with a control board and credit display. You might find instructions in the machine of how to test vend it, but I can't remember if it will do that. If you find the model number in the machine, look for the service manual on the Vendnetusa.com website for any test vend instructions. The AP C-series snack will have a test vend feature if you have the large capacitor logic board in it. I'm not sure if the older 2-heatsink board has the test vend feature. Press the service mode button and then selection button 4 and the display will show dashes. Now enter the selection you want to test and that motor will run. You will then either be able to enter another selection to test or you might have to press 4 and then the next selection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
executivevending Posted October 17, 2013 Author Share Posted October 17, 2013 Okay thanks i'll test it when I get home! I also have one more question. I have a fully functioning national machine. Didn't know if anyone had an idea on what they sell for? Might keep it for next location but it's hard to say no to cash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZVendor Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 The National is a 146 and is an ok machine considering it is brown and has one too many candy shelves and the Maka validator should be upgraded to a Mars. The value is simply what someone is willing to give for it. Somewhere between $400 and $800 is my guess, leaning toward the low end as-is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmorris1953 Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 That is a nice bar... I would keep the bar and give him $300 for the National 146... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CajunCandy Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 I have six of those AP CS-12 machines, I like them never gives me any trouble and I have been updating with a mars DBA so it takes $ and change no problem. I have one making between $100 and $115 gross a week it is empty almost after five days. The location only has 28" of space for a machine, between a wall and a coke machine. mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't come with the stools though I forgot that I was going to ask you to try, in the future, to post vertical photos of machines. The bar photos turned out upright, but the machine photos are sideways and difficult to look at. This happens all the time on here and I think it's because the camera phones people use have a normal upright mode that is hard to remember to use.

rmorris1953 Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 I am placing 1 tomorrow for a customer... Added a bill validator. I think I still have two more and I will be out of them. They are a good machine. Just small but perfect for a account where you have a soda machine and they keep asking for snacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you click on the picture (at least if you're on a phone) it makes it full size and makes it vertical. When i take the pictures they're vertical. Again, not sure why it changes though but maybe that will help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
venddoctor Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 To run a test vend on the AP C series with the non mdb board (board with heat sinks). You press the service mode button and then button 6 the display will show dashes. Then enter the selection to test vend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZVendor Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Do the machines not go into the test vend mode? Do they go into the service mode and seem to work otherwise? You may have to resort to testing the motors with coins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And when i put coins in, it spits them right back out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZVendor Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 That probably means it has a bad board. Try a different coin mech first to rule that out. If you get the same results then you need to replace the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CajunCandy Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 I think it would be best to send it in to get it fixed. These boards are hard to fine working. I have one spare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
