moondog Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 I am considering updating some AP 7000s and was curious as to how those who have the Revision Door from VEII feel about them. Are they worth the money? Thanks for any input I bought one but were I to do it again, I would have just bought the UCB board and drop sensor and added my own LEDs. I could have saved about $800 and nobody seems to be real impressed with the looks of the door versus the old door. The instructions are miserable, they could have been much more detailed if they hadn't printed half of it in French. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CajunCandy Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Added expense I would not do it! Control board and for me cheap flea-bay string lights. Works for me! cajun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cvending Posted May 19, 2015 Author Share Posted May 19, 2015 Cajun, did you use the VE UCB or a different board? Lights I can do myself for under $20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CajunCandy Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Cajun, did you use the VE UCB or a different board? Lights I can do myself for under $20. I did three VE boards on my AP machines. Very easy! Don't be scare of it. cajun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZVendor Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 I haven't done one yet but my opinion of the door is that it's plain and boring, especially with the tiny keypad and no trim. If you put optional graphics on it then it looks very nice (which is what it seems they made this plain jane door for) but otherwise it looks like an ugly girl with no makeup... except it's shiny.

Walta Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 What I like about the Revision door is it makes your machine ADA and energy star compliant. What I do not like is the door is a bit flimsy and twists enough that the reused delivery bin sometime sticks. I agree without the graphic the customers will never notice the money you spent.

AngryChris Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 How much is just the board? I believe it is $315. I just checked. $315 for the board. $415 for the board with drop sensors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is way cheaper than a refurbished machine. I have 6-8 AP's I need to put card readers on. 2 of them are AP 113's. Seems like out here nobody cares what the door looks like, they just want their fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like out here nobody cares what the door looks like, they just want their fix. Thing is, I fully agree with Randy. The revision doors don't look all that great. A new front, new trim, and some LED lights will make those APs look great. It's just kind of a pain to mount a CC reader on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the idea of the Tuff Fronts and a new board, LED light and new coin/bill. The rest can be worked out on location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CajunCandy Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 The VE board is a simply plug and play. As for programming it, very simple. One of the features I like about it, once you open door it can be set up to tube fill coin mech or simply turn off in menu. I also had to change out DBA's and got to mdb coin mech in machines. Since I 'm in the process of going all muti-price cold drinks, I need mdb dba's and coin mechs. cajun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cvending Posted May 20, 2015 Author Share Posted May 20, 2015 Well, from what I am hearing, the VE UCB is worth the investment but the door, not so much. My question came about because we wanted to upgrade some older 7000s and spoke with Shaffer Distributing. Salesman said they would take unit in on trade for refurb with revision door installed with LED, drop sensor, ADA compliant for $1499 with trade in. We have used the InOne board with few problems and thought we would try the VE board to compare. Sounds like we might just try the boards, not the doors.

CajunCandy Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Sounds like we are in the same boat. Well Allen I hope your boat don't sink, mine is starting to have a few holes in my ship. With the oil field coming to a almost dead stop! Everybody is laying off and cutting back on working hours to a bare minimum. Long term it don't look good! cajun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
