Yes you can use a 6000.The TRC is a newer version of the MC5000.I've replaced all of my 5000's with 6000's.

Of course you can use the TRC600 instead of the MC500

On my machine the 2 belts inside the dollar excepter are destroyed. Can you just buy new ones and put them in? Anyone know where to get them? In the phone book there is a vending machine repair place but its a long drive.

What type of validator do you have. You should be able to change the belts on most of your vals.

Hello,

Do any of you have experiance with vending 10 oz juice bottles like Welch's or Tropicana in a Dixie 501E stack vendor? How about 7 oz bottles? Do they vend well, any problems?

Thanks

This is from the Dixie Narco Product specification website. You can go there a go to product specifications and see if what you need to vend th product.

I hope that this helps

hello everyone im looking at buying a snack machine from craigslist for 100 dollars its an older ap with no validator on it. is there a way of adding a validator to a snack machine? or would i be better off looking for a new machine. otherwise im gonna have to buy a change machine too? any help out there

What is the model of that AP machine that you are looking at. you can contact me at karmstrong at globalvendinggroup dot com

I am in the process of buying a vending machine (preferably a combo machine) for my client's office (about 20 to 25 employees). I went on Vendohio.com and spoke to Doug. He told me that he has a combo machine which in reality consist of two machines and apparently they get hooked together. The snack machine has the coin slot which can also be used for soda machine. The snack machine is USI Mercato 5000 and the Soda machine is USI Summit 300 Satellite.
Both machine are reburbished and are about 3-4 years old (according to him) and he is asking about $2500 for both. I need some expert advice:
Is this a good deal?
Is USI a good company?
For a combo machine, is this a better way to go?

That is a good machine. We do have a model called a GO380 which is a new combo machine that will run you about the same price.
