Title: Upright self-serve models
Post by: halehouse on August 22, 2003, 09:04:42 pm
Are upright self serve machines much less desireable than coin-operated ones?  Any idea about the popularity or lack thereof of a Westinghouse model 144?  It has slightly rounded corners, a bottle door and slanted shelves.

Generally speaking, non coin-operated are less valued as opposed to coin-operated models.

As far as a Westinghouse 144 Self-Serve model is concerned, due to its size and weight; it hasn't received the attention other upright self-serve models have received. If you like the machine and everything is working properly, all is good from point of view! Additionally, the slant-shelf models allow for multi-flavor vending which is great for home use...
