m2736185 Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 So im thinking about picking up a new machine. Its a dixie narco 320. Seller states it works but it looks like its in rough condition.

AngryChris Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 It needs cleaned up but it could be a decent machine if everything works. I would pass on it unless it cooled and it was $200 or less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m2736185 Posted April 26, 2014 Author Share Posted April 26, 2014 Its right at that price. How old are these? Are they mdb? Hows the validator on it Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orsd Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Validator is pretty current , not mdb These are 30-20 years old, but still reliable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m2736185 Posted April 26, 2014 Author Share Posted April 26, 2014 I have 501e at a location. They keep complaining it has been eating bills. Wanna make sure I don't have another old validator Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orsd Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 What vali is in the 501e? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZVendor Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 That is a nicer than normal DN320, aside from it needing to be cleaned, as it has a Pepsi bubble-front door and a validator in it. Most 320's were flat front boring doors. If it cools you should be okay, but for a good price only. You might need new buttons if the labels they stuck to them won't come off.

m2736185 Posted April 27, 2014 Author Share Posted April 27, 2014 So this machine is shorter but still pretty heavy. I think im gonna attempt to move this one myself. I have seen someone throw a dn501e in the back of a pick up. I guess that is easier to do because its taller Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZVendor Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 It is a shorter machine so its center of gravity will be lower, making it more difficult to lay into a pickup bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can leave the machine upright for 24 hours if you've lain the deck on it's side but it's safer to pull the deck out - shouldn't take more than 15 minutes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donut Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 If it runs offer them $75.... If they don't take it offer them $100 tops.... Use the dirty condition to your advantage... Tell them you're not sure how well its going to clean up and that would limit the locations you can put it..... That's the advice my frugal mind can give....

jerry1973 Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 the 501e is much much more valuable machine than that old single price machine, I would recommend getting a validator for the 501e for sure. It should be a 10 minute fix. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucknorris Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Hi I have a dn320mc and column 3 and 8 vend but it will vend 3 times or so without requiring more $ then stops Any ideas Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZVendor Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 That is probably caused by a sticky brake or gummed up motor switches. Find the two pivot points of the brake located at the motor magnet mounting screws and spray them with glass cleaner, then tap the metal brake lever against the magnet until it moves freely with no sluggishness, almost as if the lever is too loose. If that doesn't work then you need to replace the motors or the gummy switches. If you need any parts for this send me a PM. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m2736185 Posted May 3, 2014 Author Share Posted May 3, 2014 So I moved the machine today without any problems....sorta. I stopped at the car wash to pressure wash the machine...and I left the shoot that cans come down and the metal bar under that. Where can I find replacement parts? Also this machines looks very different that my 501e. The middle columns are different and there is a bar holding in the cans only for the middle two columns Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk So I moved the machine today without any problems....sorta.

m2736185 Posted May 4, 2014 Author Share Posted May 4, 2014 (edited) Wait a second, are the 2 side columns missing the doors? Not a lot of people seems to have the 320. I guess this wasnt a popular machine Edited May 4, 2014 by m2736185 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZVendor Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 There are not any "doors" for the wide columns on DN machines. The DN320 is a short version of the older standard 2 deep DN368 machine. The 501E uses many different parts than the older series of machines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m2736185 Posted May 5, 2014 Author Share Posted May 5, 2014 So...these only vend regular cans right? I took these shims out Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZVendor Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 This machine is designed for vending 12 oz cans but you can get it to vend anything of the same diameter, within reason, such as 16 oz cans or 16.0 or 16.9 oz water bottles. Just remember that it's a single price machine so you will be stuck at only one price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donut Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 I would recommend against power washing.... Just use a garden hose.... Won't shoot such high pressure water into stuff and therefore a quicker drying time and less chance of damage when applying electricity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
