I came across this one today. The seller will take 150 for it. It works, cools, vends, etc. Seller says its very mint, plus its only 5 feet tall. I know its nothing vintage but it will be a good soda/beer machine. What do you all think?

Not much compared to that. I would run away from that one. I bought one once with the same thoughts as you. They are a nightmare. If there is anything wrong with it or if anything ever goes wrong they are very complicated. And they are REALLY heavy. Just my advice.

well I bought it and it is in mint condition. Its a dixie-narco.   It is very heavy but it fits in well with the other machines. I am going to try some of those "mover men" furniture mover pads to see if it will slide on concrete. We have also been wanting a push button machine for some time.

what is complicated on this machine? The only thing I can think of would be the vending mech.

Yeah thats it. It is just too much electronics. It looks like it doesn't have a bill accepter on it. That is also a pain in the Rear. That machine is smaller than I thought. It is a nice looking machine

it was a good find. It came from a yacht  club in new york. The owner worked at the yacht  club since the machine was placed on location. He  bought it from the yacht  club and took it with him when he moved to Fl.  Dixie-Narco is quality stuff too.  I think its from the late 80's early 90's and I am going to hold on to this one for a long time because its in like new condition.

How do I get this machine to vend for free?
