packs179 Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 I started in honor boxes and I am really enjoying it so I am looking to expand to bulk vending. I was looking on Craigslist in my area and I saw this 5 way rack for $150. Is this a good deal? And does anybody know what brand machines these are? Thanks for all the help! https://columbus.craigslist.org/for/5046911781.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orsd Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 These are Northwesterns, great machine, great deal, just make sure it isn't stolen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packs179 Posted May 29, 2015 Author Share Posted May 29, 2015 Thanks for responding so quick! I will go check them out and make sure they aren't stolen. Is it possible to buy a northwestern key for them or will I have to drill out the locks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orsd Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 The lack of keys are often a red flag, be sure to ask the guy about how he got them and if he seems like hes lying then leave. As for the keys, you'll need the code, which is only found on the keys, so you'll have to drill if they are the circle tubular type, or if they are the flat type then there is a trick with them, you can search on the forum for both techniques.

packs179 Posted May 29, 2015 Author Share Posted May 29, 2015 Ok thank you so much for all your help! I will definitely ask the guy where he got them to make sure I'm not buying any stolen property. Heading over there now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrCorey Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 yeah, how many people have went to a deal and said, Wow, those look just like some machines I lost last month? then if your keys fit, take them and call the cops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkochan Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 If the rack I'd not stolen, I would jump on that deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PerformaVending Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Northwestern gear is great- especially at that price. Go check it out if nothing else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packs179 Posted May 30, 2015 Author Share Posted May 30, 2015 Hey everyone I just wanted to say thank you for all of the advice! Especially orsd! I purchased the rack and I am very excited to get it cleaned up and placed! I had one more question... With the new locks, will the s60 locks fit on the 80? I found 5 online for $24 keyed alike so I was going to buy those but I wanted to make sure they would fit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orsd Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Do you have a link to the locks. Also if you need help with the locks pm me for instructions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havending Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 yeah, how many people have went to a deal and said, Wow, those look just like some machines I lost last month? then if your keys fit, take them and call the cops. In that case i could go claim machines all day. I have just about every bulk and amusement key there is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrCorey Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 yeah and some do that too. I lost 2 of my panty hose machines in the 80's that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrCorey Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 good thing the same don't work with houses and cars too. HEY! my key opens this house, What are you doing in my HOUSE? It's heart ache already when you pull up to a location of yours to service or to fill, and could swear, this is where you seen it last time... I have seen where a machine isn't serviced for one reason or another and the location will just toss it. there is a idea for a contract clause? said location is responsible for the operator property.
