    Does anyone know how many cans a normal coca cola vending machine holds, the one that you can choose about 7 different types of can from?
    Cheers guys.

    Since my school had like a gazillion pop machines I would say that there is anywhere between 25-40 of each kind of soda in a Machine. Not sure of the exact number. I'll be sure to ask the pepsi guy next time I see him:hehe:

    At a vague guess as it's been a while since I left school where we loaded up the venders but it used to take about a pack and a half of coke, 36 cans in it I think, with 6 or 7 options so , 6 or 7 times (36 * 1.5 )

    Sorry but i'm hungover a bit, and maths aint a goer.

    The standard pepsi/coke machines (cans not bottles) hold 400-500.
    Divide that by the number of selections (usually 8 or 10) and you have your number.

    Depends on the manufacturer, age and physical size. For example, the Dixie Narco standard size 7-selection Coke machine holds 368 cans while a narrower version of the same model holds (if I remember correctly) 300. Costs obviously vary depending on size. For a 7-selection Narco 368-7, they are about $3000usd new, but can be gotten from eBay for about $800-$1000. Why do I know this? I'm "modding" my house and am turning a spare room into an "arcade" which will have a Coke machine and have researched this stuff ;)

    If you want exact numbers for other models, go HERE.

    I would say over one hundred of each type of drink. They lay on their side in runners which usually fold from the front to the back of the machine.

    Cheers :)
    Sig is sorted to how it was..sorry, it didnt look so bad on my other machine lol, it looked awful properly, apologies.
    Now does anyone know where to get a key for one from? Mods, if this is treading a fine line, feel free to delete.
    I have the opportunity to buy one for home use :) but with no keys. This is not stolen.
    If anyone has any ideas, lemme know :) Drilling the locks is about the only option i can think of.

    Well, I don't know idea in how many cans of coke there in one vending machine. However, try to ask in some person that they arrange a can of coke inside of a vending machine. I think there are hundred of cans of coke in one vending machine.

    See the date of the last post before you? It says '2003'. Please dont revive dead threads, it's not normal. If thread necrophilia is your thing, seek help. Now.





    and besides, you didn't even answer the question.
