I'm new to vending, and just bought my first bulk candy machine. A local person has old Lance snack vending machine for sale for $250. I haven't called them yet, so I don't know just how old it is. The ad says that it works, that's about all I know about it. I did a search on the internet and couldn't find anything that would lead me to beieve that Lance is still making machines. Are these decent machines? Can parts and repair manuals be obtained easily and cheaply? Anybody have experience with these machines?

ok i will try to help.......most lance machines were built by the wittern group in iowa...usi,fawn,federal,general products....all manufactured by them..because they did this for a very long time......there is no way of knowing what you found......get the model # and serial # off the back of the machine.....post it...and then we'll go from there.....if it is a late enough model, there is a way of reading the serial# to determine the actual day/year it was built......
