brendamca Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 I saw this ad on CL: Two machines: One 8-select Rockola soda machine; one Lektrovend 4-column wide snack machine. No commission. Gross business approx. $3000 per year. Price includes whatever merchandise in the machines, plus all money in the coin mechanisms. Will post picture when available. Asking price is $1500. I haven't contacted the seller. It's a dog location, but it might be a good place for me to start. I was thinking about offering replacement value for the machines. I'm also concerned about parts availability and the overall quality of the machines. I'd prefer not to have to replace them too soon until I have more cash on hand. Thoughts?

With equipment that old I would not give more than 500 for the machines and location. Even at price you are very likely to be buying yourself a headache.

Even at price you are very likely to be buying yourself a headache. That's what I was afraid of. Here's a follow-up question. I'm picking up a DN 501t for $50 (needs new coin mech and lock). What if I were able to get the location for $500, ditch the old machines, put in the DN and add a newer snack machine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mission vending Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Are you sure that is all the 501 needs? If it were me and I bought the loction I`d leave existing equipment in place until it breaks and then decide what to do about repair or replace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked the seller to plug it in and see if it worked, and he said it did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm, OK. I'll call some supply shops tomorrow and see what's available. I can still back out if I need to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can still back out if I need to. mine takes a coinco 9300-L or mars trc-6000 model they arent impossible to find but ive had to replace it a few times and it took a few days to find one. i assumed because it was a multiprice machine i could use the same changers as in my snack machine but it doesnt take the 24v changer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mission vending Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Try Vendors Exchange. If they don`t have it they can usually find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This helps me narrow it down, because most places assume you already have the model number in hand. One more question -- does yours have a DBV? Which model?

One more question -- does yours have a DBV? Which model? Interesting enough Dixie's website shows the 501T in a single price, s2, and s2d configuration. Your coin mech will be determined by what configuration you actually have in the machine. We have a bunch on special so once you find out which one you need check out what we have. http://store.technivend.com/recoacandbia.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's DNCB501T/SII-8. So is that an S2, or S2D? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brendamca Posted January 18, 2011 Author Share Posted January 18, 2011 So, dogcow and Technivend, now that I've hijacked my own thread are you guys in agreement with Mission that this location's not worth checking out, even at $500? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The II is roman numerals that Dixie felt like using. That should use a 110 volt dumb mech. As far as the location. I think Mission is dead on in post #4....
