nuchols Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Can you buy replacement display panels of coke or pepsi and if so does anyone know of a link? Also if I buy a full size snack machine and have to fill it up how much should I except to send on filling it up? For the combo machines that you can buy that dont use electric how are they able to keep soda cold? Any feedback would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For generic fronts try:http://www.nbsinc.net/ Just guessing since it depends on your selections, but a 40 select would hold about $250 of product at cost. The problem is if its your first snack machine then you would have to buy full cases of lots of selections. Buying the variety packs of candy and chips will help with this on the first machine, but you would still spend $300-$350 (remember these are just estimates). Also, not all locations would require filling all selections completely. That's the problem with the "saves power" argument for mechanical machines. They still use power for taking dollars and for cooling. The only power saved with a mechanical is the small amount used to turn a vend motor that only runs when someone makes a selection.

Technivend Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 A word of warning. Coke machine fronts are wider then the "trade" fronts that Pepsi and the generic machines use. It can be harder to find front for the Coke machines because of this. And as JD stated, the "Use no electricity" machines will need electricity to operate the refrigeration system and bill changer if equipped. Only the snack/candy portion will not require any electricity. So if you are planning on putting the machine where there is no electricity, it won't work.

Quarter Master Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Another thing to think about is make sure those drink machines don't belong to Coke or Pepsi. They could be part of the "free placement" program they had/have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuchols Posted January 12, 2009 Author Share Posted January 12, 2009 Thanks for the info guys. I did not see any prices on the web link for the replacement display panels. Anyone ever replace there panels? What is the cost and is it easy to do yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midtenn Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Factor in a cost os about $100 including shipping,although cost will vary depending on the machine model of course.www.veii.com also sells them; you can download their catalog and check their pricing if you want. After the first one they are no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
