In Topic: Coinco CT-48 Machines

07 July 2010 - 01:36 PM

Hi,
I'm looking for someone or some vending company that would like to
take 20 ct48's for refurbishing or for parts.


I also have 10 out in the field in good working condition.
My wife and I are 74 and need to get out of the business. I was diagnosed 2 1/2 years ago with Pulmonary Fibrosis with a life expectancy of 3 years. Do the math!!
Then to top that off I had a heart attack a couple of weeks ago. !!!
The 20 machines that I have
at home are in need of repairs...coin mech adjustments....some broken doors.....etc.
I live in Chicopee Massachusetts and would like to know the nearest business that would purchase those 20. The 10 in the field I will try to sell here as a route.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Thank you
John Marceau

speaking from personal experience, the CT-48 is one of the best machines ever used. I have 14 on my vending route. They are the best because they have ZERO motors for the pop itself. The machine works on the law of gravity. You load up the 3 columns, and when someone puts the money in, they open the door and pull out a pop, and when the door closes, the next pop can falls right into place. Simple gravity. There are ZERO buttons for the customer to pull out, they just open a door. They are virtually maintenance free as there are no moving parts or switches to go out on them. They have a compressor and a fan and that's pretty much it. The doors are a thick plastic that have a "sold out" label behind them, so a customer can look through and see the sold out sign when they are out of pop. They are the easiest machine to use and you can carry them around, don't need 2 people or a truck, they fit in the trunk of my car. Hope this helps,

I don't think anyone else makes a unit like this. Try E-Bay and Craigslist. There are usually some available every couple of weeks.

Hi,
I am located in Western Massachusetts in Chicopee MA
I have 9 Coinco CT48's out setup in locations. All running good. NICE ROUTE.
I also have about 21 in need of repairs....broken doors, finicky coin mechs. I am looking for someone in my area who would like to pick up a small route, and anyone else who would like to purchase these for parts.

Both my wife and I are 73. She was just diagnosed (MRI) with DDD , Degenerative Disc Disease.
I have a serious lung disease and am on Oxygen most of the day.
It's time for us to get out of this business!!
Kindly let me know where to go from here.

Thank you very much

I have looked all over the net, found just a few. Does anybody else make a machine this size?

The CT - 48 has three columns that hold 17 cans each for a total of 51. It is only suitable for small locations. The interior is a lot of plastic. There are a few small pieces that are easy to break off if you have to take it apart to service it. It is fairly straight forward to use and you can get a manual from the Coinco website if you need. If you decide to get one and can't get a manual let me know and I'll see if I can find a copy.
