Willow Valley Vending Posted April 16, 2017 Posted April 16, 2017 Just got my Parlevel CC reader installed. Still need to notch the trim on the door but I am happy with how this turned out. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

Chard Posted April 16, 2017 Posted April 16, 2017 I'm installing on an identical machine very soon. Did you flush mount the reader and notch the door for it to fit through?
Willow Valley Vending Posted April 16, 2017 Author Posted April 16, 2017 I'm installing on an identical machine very soon. Did you flush mount the reader and notch the door for it to fit through?The only notching I will have to do is on the removable door trim. This CC reader fit perfectly in this open space. I had to buy 3/4" screws because this area has 3 layers of metal. I dont think the CC reader could be moved up further to avoid notch as it would start to interfere with the selection buttons.

tc vending Posted April 16, 2017 Posted April 16, 2017 Looks like a usi 3014 not a 3158 must have an inone board in it.
Willow Valley Vending Posted April 16, 2017 Author Posted April 16, 2017 No, its a 3158.Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk
tc vending Posted April 16, 2017 Posted April 16, 2017 Learned something new never heard of that model not surprised typical usi. Does it run a F-80 control board?
AngryChris Posted April 16, 2017 Posted April 16, 2017 USI used the 3015 cabinets in some newer models. Sometimes you cannot tell what kind of USI machine it is without an actual identification plate.

I think the F80 board has a red display only, so this is probably something else between SM3 and SM6. USI is weird for that. I try to avoid their equipment unless it's a 3015 (or equivalent) or something along the lines of the HR series or newer.
tc vending Posted April 16, 2017 Posted April 16, 2017 So true angry chris its an sm6 in that machine looked it up. Thank God after the hr32s usi quit the 10 weird models at a time thing.

lacanteen Posted April 25, 2017 Posted April 25, 2017 Just in that small corner of the machine in the picture there a 4 hand written price tags.

It's foolish to put a card reader on a machine that doesn't have every price over $1.00 because the card fees on every sale will quickly erode your meager profits.

TKK Posted April 27, 2017 Posted April 27, 2017 Yeah its very old. Anything without sensors and mdb i think should be left in storage. Ive seen a local vendor w these and readers and it just looks funny lol.

That's what the 10 cent 2-tier pricing is for. It covers the 5.9% process fee and a portion of the monthly service fee.
AngryChris Posted April 28, 2017 Posted April 28, 2017 To me, a very old machine is one that was never designed with MDB (ie. AP 4,5,6,7000, AP 110, National 145,146,147,148, Rowe 149 (and 159?), USI's before the f80 board (I think), etc... Many of those machines are anywhere from 20-30 years old from what I understand. This machine has an SM6 board in it which was designed for MDB components. The manual for the 3158 on vendnet shows a date of the year 2000 on it. So it is somewhere in the range of 17 years old, which is not nearly as old as an AP 4000 for example. I think we are getting into the range of semantics over "what is old" and "what isn't old" but, to me, anything that was never designed with MDB is old, and this machine WAS made to be MDB compatible. It's just that the cabinet design is much older than the actual machine itself. However, I concede that it is old... but I think TKK thinks any machine with that style cabinet is as old as any other 3015. That serpentine soda machine he is referring to in another post could very well be much older than this snack machine.
