sprint54fan Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 My A&A Sales rep sent me an email containing a flyer for this crane. It will not let me upload the flyer as its pdf format..so I was able to get a picture of the unit and upload it. This crane is an import and sells for 1200.00 new (cheaper the more you buy)..- 2 coin mechs and ICT dba..ONE YEAR WARRANTY FOR ALL ELECTRONIC PARTS BILL ACCEPTOR HAS 6 MONTH WARRANTY. Just curious what your guys thoughts are on this unit? Think it would be similar to operate and work on like my toy soldiers? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BouncyBalls Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Appears to be very cheaply made IMO, most likely China. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprint54fan Posted August 19, 2014 Author Share Posted August 19, 2014 Its from Taiwan I believe. Cheaply made? looks like a toy soldier just different graphics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrCorey Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 but then how do they support it? oh it died? ok crate it back up and send it back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musser Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 At 1200 I doubt if it is Taiwan made. And yes a picture of the board would help. But the flyer prolly doesn't have that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hanihotdog Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 aa global does not distribute machines.. it was a sales rep forwarding a flyer from one customer to the other... Looks like China, probably has parts that are interchangeable with smart imports or older style coast to coast machines. My guess would be macrown from china.. but its just a hunch? the wiring on imports is shoddy at best. you will have tons of out of orders on your hands and will spend thousands on parts trying to fix them.(after your warranty period). your best bet is to buy a few used cranes and test a new account. If the account does 150+ / week for the first two months you should probably upgrade and buy a new machine for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprint54fan Posted August 20, 2014 Author Share Posted August 20, 2014 http://www.ebay.com/itm/261557120539?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 thats the ebay auction it shows pictures of the boards.. Im not saying IM buying any of them personally..I just asked about them on here.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musser Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Not a good pic of the boards, need a head on to see the chip labels. they claim Taiwan but I seriously doubt that with the price. It may be china produced on shipped via Taiwan. They offer locating serviced too, look out, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superior games Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Stay away! Forget what country it comes from your problems will be made in the USA when you bug that crane. A&A has no experience with cranes and cannot properly support this product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A&A has no experience with cranes and cannot properly support this product. AA does not offer crane support any way so their experience level does not matter. Get a good import smart, coastal or coast to coast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dkochan Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 I spoke to the guy that has these cranes for sale. He has 8 of these cranes that have been on his route for 9 months. He hasn't had any problems with these cranes. I'm thinking of buying 1 - 2 of these crane machines to place on my route. I was told these crane machines are made in China.

He has had these on route for 9 months with no problems yet he wants to sell them? Let me guess, health issues??? They scream "Made in China", figured that at first glance.

musser Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 If he bought a container he can tell you who made them and that will tell all. So, who made them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havending Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 I woukd not buy any crane with out a support network. Meaning a dist in business for parts and tech support. I see the no name imports go for 200 at auction. For what it's worth I have seen the same ones same photos on eBay for quite a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
