Title: Westinghouse wb78 4 bin?
Post by: on August 09, 2005, 03:52:30 pm
I have found a Westinghouse WB78-4B-20.  I find info on the 6 bin, but not this one.  Is this one more rare...or just unpopular?  Can anyone point me to any info on it and possible value?  We've got a small business and we were thinking about using it, but can the price be changed from the .25 that it is set to.  I am not familiar at all with how these machines work.

It's probably just unpopular.  It's a little too new for most of the people here.  The coin mechanism is what you need to tell us about - who is the manufacturer and what is the model number - that is what will tell us about what pricing you can set it at.  You can also buy coin mechs on ebay and johnieG here at SMC usually has a few to sell.  What do you want to set the price to? If you do get the machine do post a few pictures - for us to see and maybe Jim could use it for the machine section.

Thanks for your reply.  It was one of two machines we looked at.  We're running a small conveinence store in a small community, and we bought an (but fully functional) RC machine for $150.  It should pay for itself fairly quickly.  The only reason we considered the other one (the Coke machine) is that it used to be in a store in this community many years ago.  He only wanted $50 for it.  Should'a got it.  Someone else got it.
