From recent investext report.... New Coin Counting Mechanism... Due to be rolled out Q2 1998... is expected to increase the number of machines each field technician can service by 50%...In a mature market a field tech can service 40 machines at an average cost per machine of just under $2,000. With todays relatively immature markets costs per machine are approx. $2,300-$2,500. they assume 50% gain in number of machines to 60 in a mature market with new mechanism.That would bring down cost of tech per machine by $600 per machine. Also it is assumed that manufacturing costs per machine will drop by approx. 10% from $12,500... Not yet clear if existing machines will be retrofitted with new device...under consideration.
