Dixie-Narco 368 Vending Machine
Asmbly's soda machine is a vintage Dixie Narco 368 single-price vending machine. It's equipped with a CoinCo 3341-S changer and a $1 bill acceptor.
This machine is an '80s-era electromechanical vending machine so equipping it with a card reader would require prohibitively expensive rework -- it would be cheaper to replace the machine. Asmbly would be more than happy to accept donation of a modern multi-price vending machine with card reader if anyone were so inclined.
(Incidentally, "Greenstream International" seems to be a defunct electronics recycling company in Austin. Unclear if they refurbished the machine or were a previous owner)
It appears to have been refurbished at some point in its history. It has the button panel of a flat-front machine, but it has the curved door graphic of a later model "MC" machine. The model/serial plate has had all the paint stripped off, so only the stamped characters remain.
