hope so 120 mile round trip to collect , but we got a day out as a bonus, near the seaside, I managed to secure a triple northwestern set up on a metal stand so 3 vending machines in total, in very good condition finished in yellow , I think I paid a bit too much but fell in love with them £130 all in not had chance to asses in detail , but ill start to clean the best I can , ive realised very soon in my learning that I might need the help of someone to show me the inside out of the machine as theres not too much on you tube only 2-3 tutorials, when I picked the machines up the seller told me how to line this up and that but didn't really take it in for the limited time I was there , he said that if this wasn't lined up with that then free vending will take place and customers could get skittles for nothing, would anyone know anyone in south Yorkshire who could help with any technical help on the machines regards

Craig,
Have you got a site or sites for the machines you are buying. I dont want to discourage you but I find Northwesterns/ Beavers arent the easiest to site. I tend to put them in as an add on. Also worth considering your vend price, most Beavers/Northwesterns operate on 20p. Other machines work on £1. You make a lot more money out of a £1 vend than you do a 20p vend.
Just sayin!

Andy
