National 167 VE Revision Door MDB Snack Vending Machine
The National 167 VE Revision Door Snack Vending Machine is a refurbished 5-wide snack machine built for operators who want a dependable vending solution with updated features. This model combines a classic National vending cabinet with a modern VE revision door, LED lighting, drop sensors, MDB multi-price electronics, and flexible product storage.
With six shelves, dual snack spirals, and one candy shelf, the National 167 provides space for a broad selection of snacks and candy. The machine supports approximately 30 to 40 selections and has an estimated capacity of 300 to 400 items, depending on product size and configuration. It is a practical choice for offices, warehouses, schools, break rooms, apartment communities, and other locations that need convenient snack service.
Modern VE Revision Door Design
The VE revision door gives the National 167 a refreshed appearance while adding modern vending technology. Its Executive Black finish creates a clean look that works well in professional and commercial locations.
A modern-looking machine can help improve the appearance of an existing vending location. Instead of replacing an entire vending route with new equipment, operators can use refurbished equipment with updated features to expand their business while keeping equipment costs more manageable.
The revision door also provides access to updated electronics and vending features. The result is a snack machine designed to support both traditional cash payments and newer cashless payment options when a compatible reader is added.
Six Shelves for Flexible Snack Selection
The National 167 includes six shelves for product storage. This layout gives operators room to offer different types of snacks in the same machine.
The machine is configured with dual snack spirals. Dual spirals can provide better support for many common packaged snack products and give operators flexibility when setting up selections.
A dedicated candy shelf is also included. This allows smaller products and candy items to be organized separately from larger snack products.
- Six product shelves
- Dual snack spirals
- One dedicated candy shelf
- Approximately 30 to 40 selections
- Approximately 300 to 400 item capacity
- 5-wide snack machine configuration
Product capacity will vary based on the size, shape, and packaging of the items being stocked. Operators can arrange selections based on the needs of each location and the products that sell best.
MDB Multi-Price Electronics
The National 167 features MDB multi-price electronics. MDB, or Multi-Drop Bus, is widely used in vending equipment to allow the vending machine controller to communicate with payment devices and other compatible components.
Multi-price capability gives operators the flexibility to assign different prices to different selections. This is useful when a machine carries a mixture of low-cost candy, snack bags, pastries, cookies, crackers, and other products with different wholesale and retail prices.
Using individual prices for selections can also make it easier to adjust a machine as product costs change. Operators can create a pricing structure that fits the products and location instead of relying on one price for every selection.
Cash Payment Options
This National 167 configuration includes a five-tube coin system and supports $1 and $5 bills. These payment features give customers familiar ways to pay for their purchases.
The five-tube coin system provides coin handling and change-making capability. Bill acceptance also gives customers an option when they do not have enough coins available for a purchase.
Having multiple payment methods can make the machine more convenient for a wide range of customers. Operators can also add a compatible cashless payment solution because this machine is listed as credit-card capable.
Credit Card Ready
The National 167 is described as credit card capable. This means the machine's electronics are new enough to accept a compatible credit card reader. A credit card reader is not included with the base machine.
Vending World lists an E-Port credit card reader as an available option. Customers can select an option to receive the reader packed inside the machine for self-installation or arrange installation through an outside technician. Any installation service is separate from the machine purchase price.
This cashless-ready design gives vending operators the ability to add modern payment technology when it makes sense for their location. Before purchasing a reader, operators should confirm compatibility, service requirements, cellular connectivity, and installation details.
LED Lighting for Better Product Visibility
The National 167 includes LED lighting inside the machine. Interior lighting helps customers see product selections more clearly.
Good product visibility is useful in many vending locations. A machine may be placed in an office break room, warehouse, hallway, lobby, employee area, or other space where lighting conditions can vary.
LED lighting also gives the machine a more updated appearance. The combination of interior lighting and the Executive Black revision door provides a modern presentation without requiring a brand-new vending cabinet.
Drop Sensors for Vend Verification
One of the important features of this National 167 configuration is its drop sensor system. Drop sensors are designed to help detect whether a selected product has successfully reached the delivery area.
Vend verification can improve the customer experience by helping the machine identify certain unsuccessful vends. This technology can be especially useful in locations with regular vending traffic.
For vending operators, features such as drop sensors can also help reduce some customer complaints related to products that do not appear to have been delivered. Proper machine setup and product loading remain important for reliable vending performance.
DEX Data Support
The National 167 includes DEX protocol support. DEX is a vending data communication standard used with compatible vending management systems.
DEX support can help operators collect machine sales and operational information. Depending on the management system and equipment used by the operator, this information can assist with route planning, inventory management, sales tracking, and machine monitoring.
For operators managing multiple machines, data access can become an important part of route management. A machine with DEX support can fit into a broader vending management setup when compatible equipment and software are used.
Refurbished National 167 Vending Machine
This machine is sold as a refurbished item. Refurbished vending equipment can provide operators with another way to add commercial-grade machines without purchasing new equipment.
Vending World explains that its refurbished machines are intended to provide an affordable alternative for vending operators. Choosing refurbished equipment can be useful for businesses that are building a route, replacing older machines, or adding equipment to existing locations.
As with any refurbished machine, the exact cosmetic appearance may vary. Buyers should review the current listing, available specifications, warranty information, and shipping details before ordering.
Where Can You Use the National 167?
The National 167 can be used in many locations where customers need convenient access to packaged snacks and candy.
- Office buildings
- Employee break rooms
- Warehouses
- Manufacturing facilities
- Schools and colleges
- Apartment communities
- Hotels and hospitality areas
- Community centers
- Recreation facilities
- Waiting areas and commercial facilities
The best product mix depends on the location. For example, an office may require a different selection of snacks than a warehouse or school. The six-shelf layout gives operators room to adjust the product mix as customer preferences change.

Why Buy A Refurbished Machine?
Great Returns - Commercial Grade Machines - Affordability
New vs Refurbished
We used to sell new machines as well as reconditioned ones. We no longer sell new, for one main reason.
According to a recent survey of vending operators, about 93 out of 100 potential vending accounts don't generate enough revenue to justify the cost of new equipment. New machines are great if you have high volume accounts, but most people do not have these accounts.
Typical pricing on new "commercial grade" machines:
- Can drink machines: $6,200–$7,400
- Snack machines: $6,600–$8,500
- Cold food machines: $8,900–$11,700
(Priced with mech and validator, typical options, vendor pricing not including sales tax or shipping in some cases.)
As you can see, that's quite high compared to used or refurbished equipment.
Please remember 'anyone and everyone' can call their machines refurbished but what does that really mean? Please see our machine ratings page for what we actually do to our machines. Many of our competitors don't even 'clean or paint the inside' of the machines.
Start small and grow as you can afford it.Many people start in the vending business without much knowledge, and that can hurt them financially if they're not careful.
All of the machines that we sell are full size, commercial machines. There are many machines that are made that are small, countertop or mechanical coin acceptance. These machines are fine if you are a housewife looking to make a little extra money on the side. We used to sell those type of machines and no longer do. The main reason is that people who were serious about vending would out grow these type of machines in several months.
Small mechanical machines have two main problems:
- They don't make change or accept dollar bills
- They "work you to death" — frequent refills for very little payoff
Most hold under 100 products and gross only $40–$50 per full restock, and profit is less than half of that.
A full-size commercial machine, by contrast, usually holds 350 to 600 products and empties out at $250–$500. Since you spend most of your time just driving to the location, you might as well fill 500 products instead of 50.
