New Beverage Only (dixie narco etc) Manufacturers

[UKfan41]

Hi All, 

 

I apologize if I missed this information in the sticky/new member section!

I am new to Vending and was hoping to start off with a new beverage only machine. The issue is that every website I can find only has used/refurb machines.

Is there a section or thread I can find this information?

I appreciate any and all advice

If you want a stack (10 selection, not glass front/ robot arm) Vendo 721 is the only one worth getting.

For glassfront/robot arm get a Crane Bevmax 4 or 6.

Just starting out you will not want to invest in anything new.  A good condition Dixie Narco 501E will do anything you want and be reliable with minimal repairs.

Cause he’s keeping his genesis, Gaines, and Antares.

to add to the OP question, I know I’m gonna get roasted for this, but I also like the usi/fsi/vendnet/wittern/federal 10 selection stackers (cb500), especially now since inone has a kit to make the 3189 cashless.

just post here before you buy anything to get insight into it.

Blake, there's nothing horribly wrong with those machines.  No roasting from me.

Yeah they are alright.  They just aren't great.

Ya they have their quirks, I admit it, but once you know them, they aren’t so bad…. Like drop sensor issues on the gvc1 version. Lol! The thing I like most about wittern is that I can have 1 gvc1 board and it will work in almost everything. And programming is standard also. So easy for me to remember.

I just dropped off my last china machine to auction. Genesis go-127. Good riddance. Only 1 single price Dixie left. Other than that my whole fleet is mdb. So easy, just have 1 spare mech and 1 spare changer and good. Although the Dixie 368 I have left is a very nice well built machine. I do like it. I may upgrade and then put that one at an outdoor location at some point.

anyways, you guys have a great relaxing Memorial Day weekend! I have…. To work. Ugh. Normal I’m used to it. 5 more years when I pay the house off, I’m semi retiring early. Worked too hard for too long.

You should have put it out of our misery at a scrapyard.  Thanks alot, now that buyer will be on here asking questions about it.

I know I know but it worked 100%. Should be worth a couple hundred maybe and I’ll save the cash if I ever meet you guys, I’ll buy drinks.

Plus I sent NY the link so he can bid it up.
