AngryChris Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 I have about 20 various AP 6/7000s, National 148s, etc.. I'm debating on whether I should add revision doors, trade them in for credits and buy refurbed, or just sell them separately and buy refurbed. It doesn't seem like an easy decision.

AZVendor Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 It doesn't sound like you would save any money with any of the moves. Do you have MDB in any of them yet? If you do then you could always paint the cabinets, re-vinyl the fronts, clean the shelves, replace the shelf fronts, relabel and put LED lights in. That along with the InOne displays will look pretty good. If they are all still micromech then I'd say your choices are $1000+ for revision door plus coinage, get a pittance for the trade in and spend $2500+ for a refurb machine, sell yours for maybe $1000 each if you're lucky but more than likely $750 tops and then buy outright for refurb which I think would be the most expensive option.

I think I'll try to clean a few up to see how nice I can get them. I'm most worried about the paint as I've never done that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZVendor Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 We used a good quality epoxy paint. You have to run a DA sander over it, mask everything off and then it gets rolled or sprayed. A sprayer is best. They were always done in gloss black. I didn't paint them myself. I had others do it for me. They could also do bondo where needed too. In fact, I had a guy come to my shop and do the painting.

ABCVending Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 vinyl wrap is cheap and easy on sides of machines - we use a carbon fiber pattern that looks pretty good - better than our weak sauce attempts at painting....I did spay bed liner on one that was outside but that is a long sad story of a great idea that did not pan out.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tc vending Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 We have rolled many machines like that and put a tuffront on them. Painting the front of machine can be a challenge. We use rustoleum double cover semi gloss black paint to roll the machine. If the machine has major dents it does not look good. If you add an inone board mdb dba, changer, paint, and tuffront that is an easy $1000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll just get rid of the worst ones l, rehab and upgrade the nicest ones The old usi snacks though... They definitely need to go away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ap are an easy upgrade. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
