nam Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Simon, You have one of the best websites I've ever seen for a vending business!!! If you haven't clicked on the link to his web site you gotta check it out. Be sure to click on the photos and look at all those location pictures. We've registered for our web site but haven't built it yet. Yours is a fantastic example of what to do and gave me lots of ideas. My dreams of what I want in a vending business looks like what you've already done in yours. Congratulations! nam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dperry Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 It looks like the 2" machines are on the stainless steel countertop. How did you secure the machines to that? Suction cups? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drvend1@yahoo.com Posted February 14, 2009 Author Share Posted February 14, 2009 Darryl suction cups yes... and eye bolt on each machine on the back as well as a cable with ped lock keeps them all together. Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nepavend Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Simon, nice job on maxing out your heads on location. I am doing this in my top spots now, and will filter that strategy down from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kai1836 Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Joe, Do you use the premier mini on your route? If so could you fit a pm mini and a reg 95 or 89 on a double bracket stand or would you need something bigger due to the size of the mini? Thnx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrianS Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 How do you pitch your locations to allow so many machines? I mean they are nicely compacted but some are still a decent amount of square footage. What % on avg do you pay, if you dont mind me asking. Talk about income earners!!!

nepavend Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Kai, I only have 2 - 20" NW80s machines on location now on pipe stands, 2 more NW83s I converted to 1" toy wheels as part of a 4-way rack for one spot. I would imagine that the idea you suggest may not work because of the weight imbalance of the two machines. You are better off probably with an 18" rack stand or J-stand, or something along those lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lurtsman Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Drvend is great. Loved looking at the machiens he put together. It helps me have ideas for what I want to be ready to do when my wife finishes school and we're able to move back to Oregon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dperry Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Simon, after looking at your gallery, it's obvious that there's more to Eagle machines than meets the eye. Their website doesn't show anything about high-capacity tall panel machines. Nor does it show anything like dual-vend machines. Did you make those yourself, or did you buy them from eagle?

dperry Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Here's one that sits on top of one of your interactive games. It looks to me that it has two eagle coin mechs but it is a single unit. So, I'm wondering if eagle makes a double machine, or if this is something that you fabricated yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dperry Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 And here is one of the tall eagle machines. It looks like a panel machine on growth hormone. I don't think I've seen any brand (oak, A&A, amerivend, etc) of panel machine that has a panel head like that. I've seen a few pictures of them in your gallery. I'm left to wonder if you have fabricated them yourself, but they always seem to be eagle and not something similar like the vista or A&A's so this kinda makes me think they are an eagle product.
