Another substantial change to the Antares machines came in 1998 when they changed the construction material of the snack vending machines. Previously, they were all metal casings, but due to the heavy weight of the snack machine (90 lbs) pulling on the soda machine door, there were problems with the door seal and air leaks.
From 1998 to now, 2007, these 9 select snack machines are made primarily of plastic. The main outer casing is black plastic and now weighs half (45 lbs.) what the metal machine did. This did solve the door seal issue on the drink machine.
