Joe101us Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 I don’t do bulk but been asked to do it so I found a old northwestern for 20$ it had gum balls in it I was thinking of doing tab gum would it work with the machine I got already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuikVend Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 If it was running gumballs, you would need a candy wheel to run the tabs. Why not just do gumballs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GumballDragon Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 You need a gumball wheel in order to dispense a standard '1 inch' or 27 mm gumball. Candy wheels dispense by volume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BryanH Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 The gumball wheel has 1 inch holes that catch gumballs or 27mm bouncy balls, they have a few springs for a housing. The candy has adjustable settings into a triangle like tray thing with a bigger housings. You really want to make sure you use either or. Like Gumballs will have trouble doing a candy wheel if at all and for candy that stuff will just pour out giving free candy. Gumballs usually do better than Tab gum btw.

QuikVend Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 That's a gumball wheel. Unless you're finding some of the tab gum in smaller portions, a case of that will be about $40+. Gumballs typically sell better,but depends on the customer base Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QuikVend Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 As far as function, you shouldn't have any issues. It's missing the 2 triangles on the front. You'll need to post pictures of those other ones. There are quite a few clones of the Beaver machines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GumballDragon Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 That wheel is for 1 inch gumballs. If you plan to use Chiclets, you should replace that wheel with a candy wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYCandyMaN Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 id stick with the gumballs, samsclub ships them, not sure if there's minimum for free shipping, but you can get the chicklet and the 1" gumball from there, just watch out for the bent hoppers, after about 7 years of no problems, I am changing out hoppers on them, some how they bend up, and the wheel doesn't catch the mech, so the mech spins through damaging the wheel, if done soon enough, then just the hopper, too late, hopper and wheel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QuikVend Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Those look like northwesterns. Missing a chute cover, but easy to find on ebay. The right side has a 50 cent coin mech too. Easily worth 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
