Hey

It looks like I will be getting my candy machine of choice.

One of the old Lance Red pull handle machines. Plus I got a good quote for pick up, boxing & shipping.

Ebay Lance Candy

I had the same machine last year. One thing they are really really really heavy. They must lead the bottoms. I would say mine was at least 350 LBS.

Josh ended up selling his to a friend of mine. His kids absolutely LOVE it! And so does he, all of the money they "nickel & dime" out of him ends up back in the Lance!

Good luck with you auction!

Can the price be adjusted on these machines?

Hello

The lance machine is in the back of my truck.

Funny thing happened. The ebay seller delivered the snack machine to me for the shipping cost. So I received the snack machine next day custom-personal delivery service.

I will post some pictures in the next day or so.

Hello

Let me follow up on the tale of my Lance machine.

I get it to the office in a back room out of sight so I can get a feel for it & how it operates. I start by taking the manual coin rejector/mechanism out to see if I can adjust price. Then I decide to clean the coin rejector. Well the coin rejector falls apart & now I am hunting new parts. I ordered a new rejector from Happ & of course the first one is the wrong type. I order a second rejector after talking with the Happ people but of course the second rejector is back ordered. Now I am waiting & very ready to get my candy machine into the action selling snacks.

So I go on the Lance company website & ask for help. I get a reply today with a point of contact & a phone number. I call the number & the fellow who works in vending says "Yes I have the manual for your machine, Yes you can change the price very easy & Yes I have replacement coin mechanism for your machine" He says I will be more than glad to send them to you & the coin mechanism cost $35. The Lance company is sending me the manual (free) & the coin mechanism with an invoice that I need to pay with a check when I get it!

Wow this is great!  A real person to talk with & repair parts sent on the honor system.

Life is good!

Kevin
