Looking for opinions on a flush mount vending machine. We thought we had it nailed down to Etowah Valley old faithful. I know we don't want to do credit cards. I think we want coinCo Bill acceptor and changer. The spec was perfect at 23 5/8 wide, but the company can not seem to return my calls. So.... What do you use ? Any other recommendations?
I can fit a max of about 35" wide.
Thanks

Why do you think you want to go with a Old Faithful they hold very little product. We’d never consider a Coinco validator or coin changer, MEI only, better quality. We have a couple of these vending AMS SlimGem machines and they work well http://www.amequipmentsales.com/slimgem.htm

Apparently CoinCo is no longer making 24V bill acceptors which should make it an easier decision to go with Mars anyway.

I don't know why you wouldn't want to take CC - I've watched customers stand in front of the bank of vendors with a handful of quarters and shop. I'm sure they'd rather do that with their card at a vendor with many choices, not to mention they'd likely spend more.

We have an unmanned wash so I need to have vending macine secured and weather resistant. I also only have about 35"wide or I would need to move electrical/ plumbing.
Sounds like good information on validator I just thought Coinco was a good product, I will look more at MEI.
