lurtsman Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 I have a location that let me put a super 80 in on charity, but they want a stand for it. I'm not sure what kind of single stand to use for a machine of this size. I'm concerned it could become a tip over hazard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherlock Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 The pipe stand from A&A global should work just fine. I've built up to a triple on this stand using Oak 450's and had no issues with tipping. The stand is available at either 24" or 30" tall for the same price of about $25 + shipping. Here's the link: http://www.aaglobalind.com/bulk-vending/bulk-vending-machine-equipment-parts/rackStands/blackpipe.htm I'd go with the 24" height to keep the center of balance a little lower on that super 80. The round base is approx 14 or 15 inches across which should be plenty wide and plenty deep for a super 80 which I believe is only about 10 or 11 inches wide & deep.

lurtsman Posted March 18, 2010 Author Share Posted March 18, 2010 I have one of those in the garage, I'll take it with me to the location. I'm also looking at a beaver stand (also on hand) with a wider base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hillbilly Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Hey Lurts. Let me know how that works out for you. I have the same situation at the rec center with the ping pong balls. I have to do a Super 80 with the balls and a Super 60 with candy. I was thinking just put them on 2 separate pipe stands. Hillbilly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lurtsman Posted March 19, 2010 Author Share Posted March 19, 2010 Big thanks to Sherlock. I brought both stands down there. The beaver stand was too thick and the bolts wouldn't go all the way through--it's the same bolts I was using previously on the stand, but I did not consider that the base of a NW80 is very thick also. When that didn't work I brought out the one sherlock suggested and it worked -- the holes don't line up very well, and I was only able to attach it with two bolts instead of the preferred four. Off by about a quarter inch for anyone who is curious. However I tightened them up and the connection was solid. I put the machine in a corner to reduce rocking on it, but the connection is good. I'm selling giant zoo mania @ 75 cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whaletail116 Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Lurtsman, are you mainly candy, toys or both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
