Yep, the V-56A.
The V56B is the more attractive one with a glass door, etc.
I bought one of those from a guy I know and I later traded it for a Cavalier 64.

Looks like it's a complete machine with the cap catcher, coin box, drip pan ect.

I'd replace the door with a glass one. Upgrading it if possible to a Coke sign.

That is what my last Vendo 56 started out as. Go to my folder in the photo album and check it out. It was an ugly machine.

Interesting choice of fingers for holding the bottle door open :-) Complete and clean inside. That bad case of ugly would be easy to fix.

FYI There is a glass door version in NE.
Ugly II
