Thoughts

Machine #2 would be good for us. We would need to do some hacking on it, like adding sensors to detect when a can is vended, possibly a new bill acceptor that takes higher bills. Machines 1 and 2 are big, ugly, but cheap. Machine 3 is only about 5 years old already has the sensors and everything in it for meeting out requirements, but costs twice as much.
