orsd Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Dixie made an r model? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZVendor Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 When there is an R after the DN model number it indicates that the door was made for Gatorade or Veryfine, not a bottler door or a generic door. C or CC is for a Coke door, M is for a Pepsi flat front Magnum door and MC is for a Pepsi bubble front Magnum door. Magnum indicates the small 2x3 buttons that run top to bottom. These letters will replace the T in a 501, 588 or 600 model and will be added to any other model numbers on non-triple depth machines. When the E model came out, DN dropped the letter designations and just used the E to indicate Extended Cabinet which was designed for 20 oz bottles, two deep.

jwrogers21 Posted December 22, 2013 Author Share Posted December 22, 2013 Also the other question is why would someone sell their accounts/machines if it is supposed to be profitable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogcow Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Also the other question is why would someone sell their accounts/machines if it is supposed to be profitable? Generally most accts/routes for sale are duds. U are correct, however sometimes accts for sale can make sense. Established companies want to pull out of an area because their cost to service has become too high, but the area may be closer to you. smaller operator has become bored or overextended ,forced relocation,etc... Some loc may not be profitable for one operator but maybe for another ..eg some guy assumes vending is get rich quick,etc.. installs new equipment, suddenly is buried under stale product, and realizes it takes work they may sell at a tremendous loss, where the acct may be ok for an established operator All that said, 99% of routes for sale are bad deals and not the bestway to start in vending. Look at every deal carefully and don't be afraid to offer pennies on the dollar on what they're asking.
