Hey all,

I just won this today off eBay. I wasn't really in the market for it, but for $99, why not? I may try to re-sell if I can figure out why it doesn't vend. It's only about 30 miles from me.

Anyone have a manual for it?

Westinghouse WB-102

Well, at $99 you really can't lose. It looks like it got relatively easy wear and the inside looks in good shape, so it may be an easy fix.

All,

I got this one home last night and it looks nice. There are few scratches and dents, but nothing major. I will wait until tonight to plug it in, as I had it on its back for the trip home (1 hour).

This thing is HEAVY!!!!! But, it looks quite nice. The question I have for the group is does anyone have a manual? I recall some one buying a mother load of manuals a year or so ago.

This model is a Westighouse WB-102-B4.

I saw that and wished that it was closer to me because I would have bid on it to replace mine (first machine I got when I was in high school, but has seen better days). I have never been able to find a manual for it. It is very similar to the select-o-matic. The only difference that I remember is what makes the selection. You might just get a "Westinghouse WC-78MD and WC-102MD service Manual" from Fun-Tronics since they are so similar.

Brent,

www.sodamachinemanuals.com (part of the Soda Museum) sells a manual for it. I ordered one.

Do you know if the machine will take cans?

Yea, there is a depth adjuster in the back of each selection. So you could vend bottles and cans in the same machine.
Thanks for the manual link. I've never heard of them before.
