Title: Vendo HA564B? Post by: shortstop on February 01, 2008, 08:21:16 pm I am considering purchasing this machine. Owner says it runs, may need freon. Appears to be in pretty good condition. I would like to know approximate value if anyone could help please

and a working coin mech ? Title: Re: Vendo HA564B? Post by: Creighton on February 01, 2008, 09:04:29 pm Welcome to the board!!
Without more information I would say $175 tops. Does it vend and have all of the shelves? When it runs does the compressor get hot to the touch and run all the time or just click and shut off? If you are able to trouble-shoot basic electronics many things can be fixed. Rebuilding a compressor deck is best left to the pro's. This machine does not have a lighted sign which reduces up front value but can be added. Any questions just ask. Creighton Title: Re: Vendo HA564B? Post by: johnieG on February 01, 2008, 09:28:56 pm I'd say between $200-350 tops (if it had the lightup sign option, which this one doesn't) but if this machine is as clean as it looks & is running and was complete, I'd be willing to split the difference, it's also called the "Thrift-vend" 56
as a note, I belive only a lightup sign from another HA56 series will fit, the V63 is a little bit different size-wise as I recall I have a parts machine in the "barn" but it also has a steel sign. Title: Re: Vendo HA564B? Post by: Creighton on February 01, 2008, 10:10:59 pm Yep, a 63 sign is a tad too big.

Post by: shortstop on February 02, 2008, 07:50:12 am They sent pics of the interior( all sheleves appear to be in place) and the coin mech( from the pic it looks brand new). I tried attaching those pics as well but the files were too big for this forum. Idiot me is not smart enough to figure out how to resize them. They are asking $300.00 for the machine. If the compressor needs work, is that something an HVAC buddy of mine should be able to do? Sorry guys, I don't have a mechanical bone in my body.

Title: Re: Vendo HA564B? Post by: SIGNGUY on February 02, 2008, 09:23:02 am Looks to be in pretty good condition, and if your just planning on leaving it as is, with original paint then I'd say your probably not too far off on the price... if it was in rougher condition where you needed to repaint then it's too high... the Refridgeration is the big thing... but if you have a buddy who can check the system , fix the leak that it must have, and recharge... then you'd be pretty good to go... but just for fun.. start your couner bid at 200.00
Good luck Title: Re: Vendo HA564B? Post by: shortstop on February 02, 2008, 09:29:20 am Thanks signguy. Just sent you a personal message as well. I appreciate the help.
Title: Re: Vendo HA564B? Post by: shortstop on February 03, 2008, 11:34:33 pm Well. I took you guys advice. tried to get him to 200.00- I did walk away with a 250.00 purchase on the machine. Compressor was a lil noisy, that was my basis for asking the lower price. Got it home, plugged it in, and it got ice cold within 15-20 minutes. The noise I heard after some investigation, was the fan blades hitting the bottom . I noticed there is a screw missing or broke off in the housing that holds the fan blade. If that fixes the problem, I think I did pretty good for my 1st purchase. I'll post some more pics when i have a lil time to do some more tinkering with the machine. I'm sure I'll be hitting you all up for advice. Thanks for the help so far.
