Refurbished AMS 39 Combo Machine – Snacks and Cold Drinks in One Cabinet
The refurbished AMS 39 combo machine is a two-in-one vendor that dispenses snacks, candy, chips, sandwiches, and cold drinks from a single 39-inch-wide cabinet. Built by AMS since the late 1990s, the 39″ Combo has become a workhorse of the vending world thanks to its guaranteed-delivery sensing, health-timer food safety, and parts that interchange across the AMS line. This unit has been fully tested, cleaned, and brought up to reliable working order, so an operator gets proven mechanics without paying new-machine pricing.
With 36 total selections split between dry snacks and refrigerated drinks, it covers a full breakroom menu in one footprint. A 1/2-plus-horsepower refrigeration unit and built-in health timer keep perishable items such as dairy, sandwiches, and fresh food within safe temperature limits, automatically locking out those spirals if the cabinet drifts out of range. That makes the AMS 39″ Combo a strong fit for locations that want both variety and food safety from a single machine.

About AMS (Automatic Merchandising Systems)
AMS, based in Kearneysville, West Virginia, builds all of its vending equipment in the United States and is known across the industry for the Sensit guaranteed-delivery platform and a modular, highly serviceable design. The company engineers snack, drink, food, and combo vendors on a shared parts architecture, which is exactly why an operator can stock spares once and support a mixed fleet. You can review the manufacturer’s full lineup and technical documentation on the official AMS website.
Where This Machine Earns
A refurbished AMS 39 combo machine covers both snack and drink demand where floor space is tight, which is why these units perform in mid-size offices, schools, gyms, hospitals, apartment laundry rooms, auto shops, and manufacturing breakrooms. Because one cabinet replaces a separate snack and drink machine, it typically fits doorways and elevators a two-machine setup can’t, and it consolidates one location’s cash and card handling into a single service stop.
The 1/2+ HP refrigeration and health timer also open up higher-margin fresh-food and dairy items where the location supports them. Actual returns depend on foot traffic, pricing, and product mix, so plan the planogram around what that specific location buys. Operators servicing multiple sites also benefit from the machine’s DEX/UCS telemetry, which lets you pull sales and inventory data on each visit and tune the mix instead of guessing.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many selections does the AMS 39″ Combo have?
It offers 36 total selections split between dry snacks (candy, chips, pastries) and refrigerated drinks, with capacity of roughly 375 items depending on how you set the planogram.
Does it take credit cards, or can I add a Nayax reader?
Yes. The machine is MDB-compatible and credit-card-reader ready, so a Nayax or comparable cashless reader can be installed for tap, chip, and mobile payments alongside coin and bill acceptors.
What power does it need?
A standard 115 VAC / 60 Hz household outlet on its own dedicated circuit runs the machine and its 1/2+ HP refrigeration unit.

At 39″ wide it usually clears a standard 36″ door only with the door removed or via a wider entrance; measure your path. It stands 72″ tall and 35″ deep and ships at about 750 lbs, so plan for a hand truck or liftgate.
