caserri Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Anyone have any input on these? I really like the look and they are competitively priced. Any info appreciated! Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ascentvend Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 They are a knock off of an Oak Vista 300. I've persnally never used one but some swear by them. The only input I've had on them from others is make sure you get the new style coin mech with them. They redesigned the mech, I think around March.

caserri Posted September 12, 2007 Author Share Posted September 12, 2007 Yeah they seem similar to the Oak Vista. I was not too happy with my latest shipment from Oak. I received some machines from them yesterday and they were horrible. I will have to file a lot of metal flashing off and re-Paint. The mechs were also all loose. I figured I'd give A&A a shot. If I am not pleased with them I guess I'll go back to Seaga and stop trying to fix what aint broke! Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westlakevending Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Steve. I recently recieved an order of 40 machines from oak and had the same problem. All of the mechs were loose, paint job was horrible, and even parts missing. Im giving up on oak myself and going to AA on my next shipments. Let me know how you like AA machines. Are the parts all metal like oak or plastic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caserri Posted September 12, 2007 Author Share Posted September 12, 2007 They state that they are all metal. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pusherman Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 steve why the pm supreme as opposed to the po89 300? just curious on the difference in price on the two. i was planning on getting the po89's for singles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caserri Posted September 12, 2007 Author Share Posted September 12, 2007 The supreme has the chrome lid and chrome hopper (see pic above). Touch of class, I think looks great! They quoted me $52 each today with a price break at 50. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutchboy Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Does anyone know how much the PO89 300 sells for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ascentvend Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Before you do any work on your Oak machines. CALL OAK. 9 times out of 10, they will ship you new parts and not ask for returns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ascentvend Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 I don't know the exact price but I know it's about the same price as Oak's are. The can be cheaper or cost more than Oak, mostly because of shipping. dutchboy wrote: Does anyone know how much the PO89 300 sells for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KPower Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 The PO89 bulk vendor is 44.95 The PO89 small panel head bulk vendor is 49.95 PM Elite Bulk Vendor 8LB is 57.95 PM Elite Bulk Vendor 12LB is 56.95 according to the sheet they sent me. I'm not sure why the 12LB is cheaper than the 8LB Pipe stand 23.70 Double Bar 4.85 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caserri Posted September 13, 2007 Author Share Posted September 13, 2007 Great info Kpower. I'm not sure why the 12LB is cheaper than the 8LB My guess is because most operators, myself included, prefer the smaller volume machines. It cuts down on refill costs and reduces spoilage.

Alan R Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 I recently bought 50 PM Supreme 300s black with crome tops, and 25 stands. I really like them. They are good quality for the money. They were $48.45 each. I will buy from them again. I also wanted to say thanks Steve, for that stuff you emailed me. Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caserri Posted September 13, 2007 Author Share Posted September 13, 2007 Well it looks as though I will give A&A a shot. Thanks for all the input! Alan R, You are very welcome. It is good to see you on the board. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baxsonvending Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Hey Steve, Can you keep us updated on your A&A machines once you get them. I purchased the 21 Oak Vista 300, and I am in the same boat once I put a couple out on location...not really pleased with them. Thanks, Baxson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel44 Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 I called today to get a quote on 10 A&a PO89 300's shipped to where I'm at, and it came to $525. They asked me to specify which type of mech I'll need, whether it be gumballs, PM&M's, etc. I've heard that a lot of the companies give you both mechs, or am I wrong?

caserri Posted October 15, 2007 Author Share Posted October 15, 2007 Rob, I believe you are referring to the wheel instead of the mech? I don't believe most companies include both wheels. I know that Seaga and Amerivend does. Oak and A&A do not. I'm not sure about others. You can always pick up a wheel on eBay or in our classifieds if you need one.

onyxxtreme Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 wow, seems like a great deal. Glad i read this, first time i remember seeing A&A. So how does their mech, compare to the best out there? Is it like a bunch out there, where it's easy to tear up by twisting it backwards, or using big pliers or a wrench? Or does it have some "security" features, like that one brand that makes mechanisms with a "clutch", that prevents the free spins? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginger vend Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 A&A has slip clutch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
