Title: Anyone ID this machine???
Post by: davethebirdman on August 31, 2007, 12:51:57 pm
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=120154962980&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=002

On Ebay UK at the moment. It does absolutely nothing for me in its current state but I have seen what you guys can do with square tops.

I take it that woodgrain is easy enough to remove.

How about the parts he's talking about?? Are they easy enought to get hold of.

The light up sign... How easy would it be to get hold of one in say 7up??

I really don't want it. What I might do is contact him and offer a much smaller price, if it fails to go at its current price ($500.00)

All help as always gratefully appreicated..

Dave

Those are cool machines, as you can put cans and bottles in at the same time.  Best of luck, mate.

      He may have lost a lot of interest from bidders when he stated
that he misplaced parts. Your chance to jump in after the auction
at $250.00
      This is a better machine than that 7up you passed up.

Thanks chaps...

I assume that these machines are getting parted out quite frequently and that
lost parts shouldn't be too difficult to get hold of. How about thecoin mech??

The coin mech is the standard Coinco electric mech.  They are easy to get.  I would want to know what he did to the bottle/can stack.

Definitely go for it. They are the next money machines.. I too would like to know what he removed to make it free vend.

       Auction ended, he got no bids. The ball is now in your court Dave,
make him an offer.  It's a nice light-up machine, deal with the wood grain later!

       If you look at the picture with the main door open, you see the
wiring harness that is supposed to go to the bottom of the bottle/can
stack is hanging loose. He unplugged and removed the solonoid? EASY
part to find, I have a bunch so I can send one to you or Tom.

Hi Glen

thanks for the advice... I've still not a reply from my last e-mail.
I'll send him another now offering $250.00 (£125.00) stressing the missing parts. I don't want it much more than that... And if I did get it, it'll have to come in under cover of darkness.

Wish me luck guys.

Dave
