That is an excellent machine though it has to have the correct shims and spacer rods in it's columns depending on the products you will vend.  It is MDB capable, with the right software, to have a credit card reader installed.

According to the owner, everything works. We would test the card reader and if actually dispenses correctly. Gonna try and get a picture.

Better yet. Here's a link and it's local to me, so we can test it easy

Stay away from that machine.  The programming will drive a new vendor crazy because of the button array and you can't get labels for it easily, if at all. You want a normal 501E with a normal door that has selection buttons down the right side.

Those aren’t deal breakers though. The 501E is a great machine and that’s a decent price for it.

It appears the machine takes bottles, im assuming. Would it also handle Monster drinks as well?

We have a 3rd location that has asked specifically for Monster's

Of course it will, with the correct set up.
