AZVendor Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Paint it or wrap it and then you're set for cash sales only. Anything else and you will be wasting money on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYCandyMaN Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 i still say try payrange, its cheap and small and can be resold, if any issues, and it should connect to the MDB connection, the coin mech is definitely a dinosaur! no fancy work to be done, plug and play, i use payrange for 2 of my machines, they are good, i would definitely like more detailed info on the weekly sales, and would like to tweak my own free giveaways, and not a preset of 7, that's just killing me, then again sales did pick up. you cn probably pick up a test unit for under $100 on ebay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZVendor Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Your machines will use the Payrange just fine. They just need the MDB connection. Card readers are another story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacapa Vending Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Fixing these machines up is a waste of time and money. Hopefully you got them cheap... try and flip them. If you want to get into vending, this is not a winning strategy to buy obsolete machines from 30 years ago. Best of luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
