Well a few months ago I sold My Rc Cola V56 to Joey (Coke_and_Stuff) so he could use its parts for a roundtop V56 that he had. Once it was parted out I asked him what he was going to do with the empty cabnet and he said I could have it back if I wanted it. Well last week I went and got it. The machine had some rust around the louvers and Joey had a better cabnet from another V56 so he swaped them for me and even included a free working cooling system for the machine. Well I needed the insides for it and I decided I was going to restore it as an electric vend machine since the parts are easier and cheeper to find. Well a newer member here Roger (Rogerz) bought a rusty V56 cheep on ebay and decided to give me the rack and shelves!!!! Yes you heard that right he gave them to me! I also found a V83 coin door on ebay so that is now on it but the coin bezel is broken and John (JohnieG) Gave me a coin bezel from the ice cream machine parts he had. So I just wanted to post some pics of this machine and say thanks to everyone who has helped me with this project so far. All I need now is a bottle door and Joey also gave me two square top bottle doors so I am going to see if I can cut them down and make them work. I am going to paint the machine yellow and do it in a 50's round top Rc Cola theme. This site is truly an amazing place! Thanks again.

glad you got it back, and thanks again for bringing me and actually scoring me a fairly nice 110 project. It wont take to much to get it alive again and help with my "expensive" machine habit.

Great how so many people (Most who haven't even met in person) can work so well
with each other... I've been lucky enough to Meet Brent (Dr Galaga) in Chicago
and got some great bottles for my collection... G.B. and Joey in Springfield, MO
droppped of some picnic cooler and just talk about collections and Moondawg (Glen)
gave me a deal on parts for my Coke Dispenser.
Great Networking... Great people...

That's going to be a great looking machine when you get it done.

I wish it was still a mechanical machine but oh well. The coin mechs are just too expensive. I think it will look sharp in yellow.
