57thTom Posted March 29, 2017 Posted March 29, 2017 These two machines are at the online auction house. I am thinking of placing a bid on them, depending on how they are listed. They didn't have lot numbers this morning, but the guy on the floor said they will soon. Does anyone have a hard, cold opinion on the real value of these legacy machines?
Technivend Posted March 29, 2017 Posted March 29, 2017 Soda is from 97. Snack is from 99. Parts availability is slim to none on a lot of items. I wouldn't even make a bid myself. If your mechanical and don't mind tinkering and just want to experiment bid real low....
57thTom Posted March 29, 2017 Author Posted March 29, 2017 Yup. I looked at the service manuals. They would have to work with no maintenance for a while to earn enough to replace with newer equipment. They look like a hobby.
Golfdogs Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 I could use the delivery chute trim off of that drink machine...
AZVendor Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 The soda machine is cans only and uses a serpentine rack which is a golpher to get cans out of when they jam or they freeze. The snack is either a 3013 or even older. Pass on both unless they are no more than $50 each.

QuikVend Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 Sometimes you can get lucky with those auctions. I found one a few months ago that had a Dixie Narco 276E, 501E, and 600E along with 5 Crane snack machines(which were all newer than anything I have out currently). I paid $50 for everything but the 501E. I paid $200 for it because there was one other bidder. Ended up paying $800 for all 8 after auction fees. Plus I found $75 in the coin mech of the 501E. This one doesn't look like much of a deal though. Looks like someone getting rid of their junk.
