Stengel Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 I have a vendo v511 with new dba and cc reader (eport) that I would like to know the value of. Also, I have a snack shop 5000 with new dba and cc reader (eport) that I need to know the value of as well. My real question here is about switching it over to cans. It is currently set up for some cans and some bottles. But I am thinking about changing it over to cans only. Can. Someone tell me how to do so? Also, how do I set up the eports for cc reading? Does anyone have any experience with these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stengel Posted September 27, 2015 Author Share Posted September 27, 2015 I am going to be switching this one out for a dn501t on location doing cans only. I think I will do some cans and some bottles (1 Gatorade bottle and 1 juice) as the have been asking for something other than soda in there. Then the plan is to find a new location for the dn501t.

lacanteen Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Value? Changing a 511 package size can be a pain if you've never done it. It involves some inexpensive clips and the correct placement of the gauge bar. http://sandenvendoamerica.com/Documents/UV2%20Set-up%20Guides_TRADE_REV%2011-24-09.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZVendor Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 You can email me at rbepic4gatgmaildotcom for the parts needed for the conversion to cans. It's pretty easy and if it's set up for bottles now you'll need a can shim and can clips for each column. I forgot to say that if these two machines are new to you then you'll need to contact USA Technologies and open an account for the card readers in order to use them.

Walta Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Please be aware most of the older USAT Eports operate on ATTs 2G network. ATT is in the process of shutting down the 2G network so it is likely that they will need to be replaced with newer Version units soon. Did they replace the control board in the AP 5000? If not and they used a adaptor board, say NO THANK YOU and walk away. Walta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stengel Posted September 27, 2015 Author Share Posted September 27, 2015 These were professionally refurbished completely 7 months ago. I believe there was a new board put in the snack machine. Also the eports were placed in there 7 months ago as well, so they are brand new. Give me a rough ball park on wha it could pay, if you don't mind.

AZVendor Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 If you already own these then the value is what you paid for them. If you don't own them as you said then why don't you tell us what the asking prices are and we'll go from there. You can value the eports at $300 each and aftermarket boards go from $300 to $450.

PHX1 Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 If it was me I would not value them too high because I am pretty much brand loyal to Royal . althoguh as AZ said the eports are 300 each unless they are running a deal, boards are about 400.

Stengel Posted September 27, 2015 Author Share Posted September 27, 2015 800 for both machines. Obviously parts alone are worth probably pretty close to that with the dba' sand cc readers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZVendor Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Both machines for $800 total is a screaming deal. $800 for each mach is good for the Vendo but not for the AP5000 so those prices are probably a wash and not bad overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stengel Posted September 27, 2015 Author Share Posted September 27, 2015 That's what I thought. But when something seems to good to be true, well you know the rest. Just wanted to check that I didn't miss something. Sounds like the snack machine is not really liked by everyone here, but for the price I am ok? Is the main reason that no one would really touch this machine for much money is because of parts availability and unreliability? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZVendor Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 The AP5000 is very old and not what most vendors would upgrade to MDB capability. Now that this is you have a decent working machine. The motors are still available so you're probably in good shape. Hopefully it has been painted and refronted in black.

Stengel Posted September 28, 2015 Author Share Posted September 28, 2015 It looks brand new, so I had no idea it was old. Unless I have told you the incorrect model number. I'll double check the model number and update. I'm leaning towards me making a mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golfdogs Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Check my gallery, I just uploaded a picture of it. Maybe you can tell by looking at it. That's the nicest looking 35 year old machine I've ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walta Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 You can put lip stick on a pig. The machine is still only has 5 shelves. Even with the paint job still looks like a refuge from the 1970s It may not be easy to find homes for something that old fashion looking. $800 is tempting thou.

lacanteen Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 I looked at the pic, it has an In-One board kit, which is good. The main problem with this machine is the coin chute doesn't always line up especially if the door isn't properly closed. You'll find coins behind the board and board cover whenever the machine acts up. I stopped updating these late last year as well as the 4000 (which is the 5-wide version of the same platform) because the shelf spacing can't handle the large LSS bags without using a lower capacity spiral so the bag leans back. I made a deflector plate out of old machine panels to take care of the coin problem. As for the 511, I stopped sending these out 3 years ago because of reliability issues with bottles and DEX.

Stengel Posted September 28, 2015 Author Share Posted September 28, 2015 Yea I understand. I appreciate the input. If you believe it, these machines look way better than a couple other machines I have on location. I'm going for call centers and not to say they don't need high class machines but for now they are working and building up some steady income every month. But I know I have to start getting more up to date and newer machines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
