Choosing concession vending equipment for a store, game room, or snack area starts with one question: do you need a complete dispenser or a repair part for a machine you already own? This guide looks at four options that cover both sides of that decision-a candy vending machine, two USI/FSI keypads, and a Northwestern gumball machine on stand. Each option occupies a different niche, so the right choice depends on whether you're fixing an existing machine, adding a self-serve candy point, or displaying a collectible.
Quick Take
If you need a drop-in replacement keypad for a USI/FSI/Fawn snack machine, the FSI/USI keypad (#4201202) is the straightforward fix. If your unit is a USI Wittern combo or Snack Mart 6, the USI Wittern keypad is the matching part. If you want a full dispenser, the 25-inch white candy machine is a complete, ready-to-use option. And if you're after a visual centerpiece, the Northwestern red gumball machine on stand brings vintage coin-op charm.
Keep in mind that the two keypads are repair parts, not full machines, so they only make sense if you already have a compatible vendor. The candy machine and the gumball unit are complete dispensers, but they serve very different product types.

Decision Matrix
- Need a replacement keypad for a USI/FSI/Fawn snack vending machine? The FSI/USI keypad covers models like 3013A, 3014A, and 3015A.
- Need a keypad for a USI Wittern combo or Snack Mart 6? The USI Wittern keypad is designed for those machines and won't work on CB500/CB700.
- Need a complete candy vending machine for a store or game hall? The 25-inch white unit uses a twist knob and locking covers.
- Need a vintage display piece rather than a high-volume seller? The Northwestern red gumball machine on stand is the collectible choice.
- Need something that's easy for kids and adults to operate? The candy machine's twist knob is simpler than a keypad or coin mechanism.
Product Notes
Northwestern Coin-Operated Vintage Marble Vending Machine on Stand
This red, coin-operated gumball machine on a stand brings a Japanese-made vintage look to any concession display. Its Northwestern branding fits a collector's shelf or a themed game room where the machine itself is part of the attraction. The machine type is specifically gumball, so it isn't designed for candy bars or snacks. At $150.00, it's priced close to the top of this lineup, and the classic coin mechanism keeps the experience straightforward. If your goal is a functional decor piece with a nostalgic coin-op feel, this stand unit delivers that niche.
FSI, USI 3013A, 3014A, 3015A SNACK VENDING MACHINE KEYPAD (#4201202) New
This new keypad is a practical repair part for USI, FSI, and Fawn snack vending machines, with compatibility listed for models like 3013A, 3014A, and 3015A. Made in the United States, it targets the common symptom of keys not responding. The catch? It's just the keypad, not the control board, so you're solving one specific part of the machine. At $149.99 it costs nearly the same as the USI Wittern keypad, but it fits a different family of machines. For an operator with an older USI/FSI/Fawn snack line, this is the direct replacement part to order.
USI Wittern 3160, 3208, Combo Snack Mart 6 Vending Machine Keypad Key Pad
If you own a USI Wittern combo or Snack Mart 6 vending machine, this new keypad is built for that control system. It's described as compatible with any USI snack machine using the SM6/SMVI control board, with part numbers 4211472 and 4210951.005. The listed compatibility explicitly excludes CB700 and CB500 models, which is important for avoiding a wrong part. Priced at $159.99, it's the highest-priced item in this comparison, but a correctly matched keypad can save you from buying a whole control board. This is a targeted fix for a specific machine family, not a universal keypad.
25 in Commercial Vending Machine Vending Machine Candy Vending Machine White
This 25-inch candy vending machine is the only complete dispenser in this group. It uses a simple twist-knob operation, making it accessible for kids and adults, and it's built from ABS, aluminum alloy, zinc alloy, and steel with die-casting and stamping. The locking top and money-box locks are designed to protect the coin container. It vends candy rather than snacks or gumballs, so it's a dedicated candy machine rather than a multi-product vendor. It's a good fit for a retail store, game hall, or amusement area that needs a ready-to-use machine without custom repair parts.
Final Recommendation
Here's how to decide: If your snack machine's keypad is failing on a USI/FSI/Fawn model, get the FSI/USI keypad. If your machine is a USI Wittern combo or Snack Mart 6, the USI Wittern keypad is the right match. If you need a working candy vending machine off the shelf, the $91.69 white candy unit is the least expensive listed option. And if you're creating a nostalgic corner, the Northwestern gumball machine on stand adds coin-op character without needing a control board.
