If you've never seen a mechanical vending machine or never used one, be sure to visit this video that shows an Antares snack and soda vending machine combo in action!
You'll see how the 3 vending machines (snack, soda, dollar bill changer) act as 1 machine. You'll see them inside and out! See how they are filled with product and change. Learn how to use one to vend an item.
This video shows a 2005 model which is the newest style as of today (August 2007).
The video also explains how this newer style differs from 2004 and older models...

Update to changes on 2005 model Antares Machines
On my post a few down, I forgot to list another feature that was incorporated into the 2005+ design of the Antares Refeshment Centers vending machine combos.
The bottom right selection can vend 12 oz cans, but it is slightly wider in order to accept things like Red Bull cans. It can probably also still do the 10 oz juice bottles, but I haven't tried one.
We'll be putting a video on the blog very soon showing the new style Antares snack & soda combos both inside and out. If you're not sure how they work or how they are serviced, be sure to watch this video.

New Style for Antares Vending Machines in 2005
In case you're wondering about the Blue machine at the top of the blog and the grey Antares machine farther down the page, the difference is the year model. Machines manufactured in 2005 or later have the blue graphics panels on them. Antares machines from 1995 to 2004 have the grey & black graphics as shown in the lower picture.
Along with the color change, these 2005+ blue machines do have a different configuration on the soda machine for the size items they can vend. The grey combos had 4 lanes for 12 oz. cans in the top half of the machine and 3 lanes for either 12 oz. cans or 10 oz. juice bottles in the bottom half of the soda vending machine. The newer blue ones have 6 lanes for vending 12 oz. cans (3 on top and 3 on bottom) as well as 1 lane (runs from top to bottom) that can vend larger items such as gatorade bottles.
Before 1995 Antares / Orion machines also had blue graphics that were gridlike and looked completely different from the new models. There aren't too many pre 1995 machines around these days :-)
