Title: Finished the Wife's Vending Machine... Post by: Jim on June 25, 2018, 03:03:18 pm Just sharing a Vending machine you do not see often, a Snax Automatic Stores Vendor out of Detroit, MI
My searches only produced two patent drawings (late 20's early 30's) for the coin mech only and a mention in an old vending publication... Machine functions; however, the coin mech has been modified so it will not detect "slugs" but functions fine with nickels. Rotate drum to selection window, top center, using selector knob, deposit nickel, rotate vend handle, center chrome handle, and selection window drops down allowing the product to be removed. Next customer rotates selector knob which releases selection window to return to closed position thus requiring a nickel to be deposited for the vend cycle... The wife saw this machine, feel in love with it, we bought it and now she's excited to have it in the house ! ! ! Win-Win for both of us! Title: Re: Finished the Wife's Vending Machine...
