moondog Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 I have chance to purchase 2 Dixie-Narco 276-E7 soda machines what are your thoughts on these machines If you need a small stacker,then this would be the one to get. I don't own one but have heard nothing but good reviews on them. This is a rare machine around here as it'll fit into a much smaller space than the full size machines, so a good one to have in your quiver. The quality of the Dixie stacker models is great - I really like the 501e's I own. This would be a good machine to get if the price is right and you can get by on the smaller capacity (276 12 oz cans) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terry Posted July 18, 2015 Author Share Posted July 18, 2015 Great thank you the guy wants 1700 for pair I am going to try and get them for 1500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngryChris Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 If they are in good working order, 1700 for the pair would be a good deal. They sell as much as 501E's around here, and they go for $900 without mech and val. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walta Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Only 6 selections doesn’t give your customers much of a selection. The low capacity of this machine means you will be doubling up some selection or servicing the machine so often that profit becomes unlikely. The best plan is to find a 368 or 501 and avoid the combo and mini machines. If you installed them side by side then you have a plan with a profit potential. If they are cooling and come with usable coin mech and BA it is a low price. Walt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walta Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Most of the time you find 2 wide and 4 narrow columns. Sometimes you find a big Coke button running both wide columns and 4 small buttons for the rest. The E models are deeper and will allow 2 deep 20 oz bottles. Most Es are multi price machine but there is the chance you will find the rare single price. http://www.amequipmentsales.com/refurb_dixienarco276b.htm Walta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never seen any other configuration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZVendor Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 That is the way all 276E's are made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CajunCandy Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 The three 276E machines I have all have narrow columns. One is a coke mp. One is a RC cola single price One is a Pepsi mp. I must have older models? cajun The RC Cola was my first 276E, paid $150 for it. Bought used rotors from AZ because of slop in hole in front of rotor.

CajunCandy Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Terry make sure you test machine with product. All three of mine had problems of not vending properly. The D-slot in front of rotor where motor slips into was a little of of shape. Causing miss vends after the first can dropped then none then two would drop. cajun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CajunCandy Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 What my DN 276E machines look like, seven narrow columns. cajun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerry1973 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 I'm a fan of them. they fit about anywhere and they share almost all of the same components of other dixie machines, plus with less selections its easier to explain why you don't carry diet anything, since diet don't sell at all haha. At least for me. I especially like the 276E machines, just not too good for a huge account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmorris1953 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 So I don't have to eat crow. LOL I have refurbished, sold, worked on, moved hundreds of 276-E's and I haven't to this day seen one or even heard of one with a double column in it. I don't know how you could fit 6 wide rotors in one and still have room for a double column. If you make room for that double column it wouldn't have the same footprint. Has to be a different model number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngryChris Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 I think I am completely mistaken. Upon thinking about my 276's, they all have 7 narrow columns. I'm so used to a 501E, I'm turning crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
