Automatic Products Studio 2 Snack Vending Machine – MDB, Golden Eye Delivery, Refurbished

Studio Sl Golden Eye — Automatic Products Studio 2 Snack Machine with MDB Board & Golden Eye Delivery

This Studio Sl Golden Eye — the Automatic Products Studio 2 snack machine is a full-size, four-wide commercial snack and candy merchandiser designed for busy indoor accounts. This unit ships on the Studio 2 MDB control board and includes the factory Golden Eye guaranteed-delivery sensor, which confirms every product drops before charging the customer — if an item hangs, the shopper is refunded or re-vended automatically. That single feature eliminates the most common source of route service calls and refund disputes.

Behind the glass front, dual-spiral coils on the chip and pastry trays keep bagged snacks upright and dispense them cleanly, while a dedicated candy shelf handles bars, gum, and boxed candy. With a packaged-item capacity in the range of 240 to 300 units, one fill covers a mid-traffic location for days, so you drive to the site less often and sell more per visit.

Studio 2 Specifications

Key Features

• Golden Eye guaranteed delivery — an optical vend sensor across the delivery bin confirms the product fell; no drop means an automatic refund or re-vend.
• MDB control board — the industry-standard Multi-Drop Bus interface accepts any MDB bill validator, coin changer, and cashless card reader, so the machine is ready for coins, bills, and credit/debit or mobile-wallet upgrades.
• Dual-spiral trays — twin coils on chip and pastry rows keep light bagged items from tipping and improve dispense reliability.
• Configurable candy shelf — a dedicated shelf handles candy bars, gum, and boxed items alongside chips and pastries.
• Glass front with LED lighting — an illuminated display merchandises product and draws impulse buys.

About Automatic Products

Automatic Products International (AP) built vending equipment in Saint Paul, Minnesota for decades and became one of the most recognized names in American snack and hot-beverage machines. The AP line was acquired by Crane Payment Innovations (Crane Merchandising Systems), which continues to support the platform. AP machines like the Studio 2 are prized on the used market for their simple, serviceable mechanics and wide availability of replacement parts — a practical choice for operators who want a durable, repairable snack machine rather than a disposable one.

Where This Machine Earns

The Studio 2’s 72-inch cabinet and 240–300 item capacity fit small-to-medium indoor accounts: offices and break rooms, teacher lounges, auto shops, laundromats, gyms, waiting rooms, and light-industrial floors. The Automatic Products Studio 2 snack machine’s four-wide footprint pairs well with a drink machine to form a two-piece snack-and-soda bank. Because the Golden Eye sensor limits refund calls and the MDB board accepts a card reader, a single Studio 2 can run largely unattended between fills. As a rule of thumb, snack-machine economics typically improve with foot traffic and the right product mix, so match placement to a location with steady daily visitors.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many selections and how much does the Studio 2 hold?

The Studio 2 platform runs multiple dual-spiral trays plus a candy shelf and holds roughly 240 to 300 packaged items depending on the exact tray and spiral configuration. Add this machine to your cart and check out securely by bank wire transfer; our team confirms the order and emails your invoice.

Does it take credit cards, or can a Nayax reader be added?

Yes. The machine uses an MDB control board, so any standard MDB cashless reader — such as a Nayax, or another card/mobile-wallet terminal — can be added alongside the coin mechanism and bill validator.

What is the Golden Eye system?

Golden Eye is Automatic Products’ optical guaranteed-delivery sensor. It scans the delivery bin to confirm the product actually dropped; if nothing falls, the machine refunds or re-vends automatically, cutting down refund calls.

What power does it need?

The Studio 2 runs on a standard 110 VAC / 60 Hz household-style outlet — no special electrical service required.

Will it fit through a standard doorway?

At 34 inches wide it clears most 36-inch commercial doorways. The cabinet stands 72 inches tall and 35 inches deep and weighs about 645 pounds, so plan for an appliance dolly and a helper when moving it into place.

Is this machine new or refurbished?

This is a refurbished Automatic Products Studio 2 — tested, cleaned, and covered by our 1-year limited warranty for US customers.

How is it delivered?

It ships by curbside freight with free continental-US delivery, typically arriving 3–7 business days after your order is processed. See our Buyers Guide for delivery and setup details.
