After lots of searching and most deals being a pretty good distance away, I finally came across a 'desirable' machine...a Vendo-44, only a few towns over. Emailed the seller, and I am headed up this Saturday to pick it up. Looks to be totally original, and it is in great shape. Cooling works fine, vending works fine. I'm going to give it a good cleaning and see where it goes from there. So, how'd I do, $1250 for it:

I agree, congrats!  Nice looking original, I think the price is fine... Looks like it's been run without a drip pan for a while, and you may wish to check for the usual rust issues in the bottom of the cabinet... try looking above the condensor area for pin holes in the base of the cabinet...

I think you did great! Good looking clean original. What's up with the duct tape in the liner?

I think you did fine--I'll give you $1255 for it!  I keep looking for one of those but the ones that come up around here must be made of gold based on the asking prices!  Tim |

I remember when you couldn't touch one for under $2500, so yeah, I think you did good

Being the fact that you really don't need to repaint it, I think you did great.. I'd still tear take it apart, clean out problem areas, but you'll have a real nice original to work with and at a good fair price. Congrats!

The tape is there to keep the door sealed tight, sounds like it'll need an adjustment. The seller had the machine in his office for the last 20 years or so, using it the whole time.
