syl20c Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Looking to acquire a route with a 473 on it. This machine is sought after in my market area but I am unfamiliar with it. Wholesale value? Overall servicing needs? Reliability? Suggested updates? What to look for in a bad one? Surevend capable? Adaptable to a bill validator? Can it vend bottled water?

lacanteen Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Not worth it at any price. Parts are scarce and what is available is expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This machine is sought after in my market area but I am unfamiliar with it. Wholesale value? About $500-800 Overall servicing needs? Depends on usage. Doesn't hold a lot of soda. Reliability? Depends on how it's been maintained. Keep the vend screens clean and machine away from the wall. Suggested updates? What to look for in a bad one? Surevend capable? No. Adaptable to a bill validator? Yes. Email me at rbepic4gatgmaildotcom if you need a validator and harness. Can it vend bottled water? No. It does 12 oz cans only. This was a combo that included coffee on the left side which is now blocked off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 485 I have which is basically the same machine has always worked well but just make sure each of those soda columns work. While I did have success acquiring the plastic replacement arms they are a golpher to get to as you have to carefully pry the face off the soda box to access them. And it will only vend 12 oz cans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngryChris Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 I'm just curious, but why do you say it's sought after in your market? I don't think I've ever heard anyone recommend such a machine except for very special circumstances back in the 90's maybe lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
