tblake05 Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Can someone confirm? Purchased it with 2 other machines on location. I like the machine. Seems built well. My first Dixie. It is single price, and this has probably been beat by a dead horse, but any chance to convert it to MDB? Any chance to make a 501e control board run in it? Other machines on location are MDB and use Payrange (closed audience) and payrange sells a ton. Thanks for any info! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Vendo Mike Posted June 16, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 16, 2022 Better off to buy a multi-price machine from the start. Trying to build a multi-price machine out of a single price cabinet is cost prohibitive due to the amount of parts and time needed which is why you should have gotten that machine very cheap. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orsd Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 I’ve converted some. In my case it was only worth it because the single price machines were really nice and clean 501E cabinets and I had some beat up, rusty and vandalized 600Es (beach machines) as donor machines. You’ll need all the harnesses and board as well as display and a way to mount it. For that it really isn’t worth it, especially without a donor machine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZVendor Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 It's a 368. Turn your cans around, it's loaded wrong. The kits from DN to make it multi-price are a thing of the 90's and long gone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZVendor Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 Tops to the back is to prevent the fragile top from getting popped open if it hits something on the way out of the machine. The only machines that get tops to the front are the rear columns of machines with front and rear columns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tblake05 Posted June 20, 2022 Author Share Posted June 20, 2022 So its a two deep machine. The back row is tops to the back. Then the front row is bottom to bottom. Should they both face the same direction? Wouldn't they jam if top and bottom were aligned? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZVendor Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 (edited) No, all tops to the back on two deep, three deep and 4 deep stacker machines. That has nothing to do with jamming. While it's a personal preference for some people that think they know better, I know from years of experience. I also know that with the packages of cans now it might be easier to load them tops out but it's still a bad idea. And the scariest place for a can to be is when you load right next to the cage nut or the unprotected tops of the column stacks. Those are the places that will cut cans. I miss the days of the 24 packs with 6 pack holders that allowed cans to be loaded 2 - 4 at a time at lightning speed depending on how big your hands were. We could slam 10 cases in no time back then. Edited June 20, 2022 by AZVendor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
