Candy machine

[scalebowler]

It looks like I might be getting my second machine. Since the pepsi machine is too big to bring back to school I am thinking of getting a small machine to have in my dorm. ( I really like having a vending machine there   ) I decided that I want one of those candy machines like you see at the grocery stores that dispense gumballs or those little cheap toys so I put an ad on craigslist and I got a response from someone who has some. They did not tell me what model they were but they said they were red northwestern machines and they are clean and ready to go. I think they might be this kind http://www.nwcorp.com/products/machines/model60/ I am going to give them a call tomorrow and find out more. I will let you guys know what I find out. Also this time my parents know I am going to get a new machine

Also are these machines pretty easy to take care of? It looks like from what I can see is you just fill it up and clean it every so often.

Easy to take care of. Only thing to watch out for is if salted peanuts have been in the machine could be corrosion.

If you are not taking your big Pepsi machine back to school you might start looking for a Coinco CT-48 to replace it.  Nice compact machine that can vend 3 brands.  I have picked these up for $100 in great working condition.  The can be hung on the wall so they don't take up a lot of room.

That is a neat little machine. How many cans do they hold?

Are parts pretty easy to find for the candy machine? Maybe I will buy two or three and keep one as a parts machine.

I have had a fe of these and they are easy and great machines. They hold 48 cans / 3 selections  so 16 cans each selection.

I will have to look into getting one of those. I know there is an auto glass place here in town that has one. I see it through their window everytime I drive by there. But I don't know if they use it or not. Maybe I will ask them about it. It does not look like they have it plugged in so it might be worth a shot.

Where do you get parts for the candy machine? Just wondering incase I need to get a key or replace some plastic parts.
