[Noisebridge-discuss] Vending Machine

[Nicholas Iannone]

So I have a guy who will sell us a soda machine which is a Dixie 368 Soda Vending Machine: 

pretty sure this is it:

http://www.vendingmachinesworldwide.com/dixie-narco-368-siid-can-soda-vending-machine-dixie-368-siid.aspx

for $400 bucks

I'd rent a zipcar that's a truck and pick the machine up in Benicia, CA (about 50 min away)

zipcar costs are $11.50 /hr x 3hrs = $34.50

This is the ad I called (i think the guys name is gary):

http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/for/2117064488.html

he offers 90 day warranty and he says it's quiet. the machine supposedly can handle both cans and bottled water.

It can charge any price between a nickel and $9.95 but all items have to be priced the same.

here are the features, pay attention to the last one:
