Jim 12994 Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 Hi guys, sorry if this has been asked but I told seller I would get back asap. I'm looking at a 2nd hand Crane SC1 vending ,machine. Do you know if Adam card readers (or others) can be installed in them without a major refurb? Also, do you need any special equipment to move them? I hear they are about 300kg?? Thanks so much!

lacanteen Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 It's a good machine as long as the serial number starts with 167. For cashless systems in the US it requires a 158.23 or higher EPROM. If this is your first vending machine, think long and hard about starting a business. It's not as easy as the blue sky sales people say it is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZVendor Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 Start with sodas, not snacks. Soda has better margins with longer shelf life and more demand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim 12994 Posted March 3, 2022 Author Share Posted March 3, 2022 I’m in australia? These two serial numbers are on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZVendor Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 The DN5594 is a glassfront drink machine but it won't be a National SC1 which is a SnackCenter 1 which shows model 764. Something weird is up there unless you are showing labels from two different machines. In that case they are both good machines though the 5594 requires proper product shims for each and every selection and working drop sensors. That would probably be problematic for you there unless you have a good Dixie Narco distributor near you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim 12994 Posted March 3, 2022 Author Share Posted March 3, 2022 Ok I’m getting clarification as they had two machines available and I was only interested in one. Thanks for all your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZVendor Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 They are both good machines so you should buy both so your location gets sodas and snacks from you. Just because the snack is chilled doesn't mean you can sell soda out of it because it isn't a combo machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NevilleW Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 If planning to fit cashless then you will definately need 158.23 EPROM - chap selling them on eBay for $20 Haven't heard of an Adam card reader, I likely to be an Advam. Guess you are in Australia, we have a Vend Expo in Sydney in July, good place to get knowledge www.ausvendexpo.com.au Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
