Hi there, I already have two old RC800 1800-Vending combos fallen to my lot from my father.

They doing good so I'm about to buy another one machine. Reading all over internet I'd met a lot of bad things about antares machines.

Do anybody here operates them? Are they really bad?

 

My regards, Jerry

Jerry,  Stay away from any imported combo machine or any mechanical machine.  They are poorly made and more poorly supported as there is no tech support and few parts available - if you can find them.  Stick with US made, not US assembled, machines and don't be fooled by anything from Seaga as all their stuff is from China and Korea.  Use machines from AP, National, Dixie Narco, AMS, Royal, USI and Vendo only.  Those companies are in the US and support what they sell.

Jerry,  You will want to avoid that machine.  It's an ancient National 140 snack and it was built in the late 70's, early 80's.  You can not get parts for that machine and it will only give you problems.  There are much newer machines from Automatic Products (AP), National, USI or AMS that will be much more useable.
