While walking my dogs this weekend I happen to discover an old Pepsi machine in a scrap yard near my house. I am posting three pics that I was able to take through the fence. I know the yard has been there since I was a kid and the building that it is in front of has collapsed. I would like to see if I can add this machine to my collection, but I don't want to waste my time on total junk.
The machine looks good through the fence, but I'm not sure if its worth going after. Can anyone out there give me a heads up on this machine from these pics. Thank you in advanced for the help. Also I hope I resized these pics right.

VMC-88 for sure! Looks like the coin door, mech and coin entry bezel are all there too - that is $500-$600+ in parts value alone. Bet the rest is there too! Check it out for sure!

Like Tom Said, it's worth $$ just in parts if you don't keep the whole machine, depends what it's sitting on? if bare ground, most likely rusted, but maybe it's on some wood? or something. Good luck, let us know!

Wow that sounds great. From what I can tell it maybe sitting dirt. After all it is in an old junk yard by a large body of water. I'm going to try to stop by and talk to them in the next few days. Any idea how heavy this machine might be. If I get lucky it has to squeak into the back of a CRV. Ill keep every one posted how I make out.

they are pretty heavey, I think around 360 or so.. but if the inside rack is missing that will lighten it by 100 lbs or so, those things are HEAVY!

OK here were I stand as of today. I met with the owners son who told me the machine maybe a 5cent machine from the early fifties, and it may still have some original product still in it. He had me make him an offer and said he will talk to his dad about it. He said he will call me tomorrow. While we were talking he mentioned that he also had an old Coke machine that I did not see yet. As well as some old 1cent gum ball machines and a large weight scale. I know they are not soda machine related but I figured I through that out there if any one else is interested in them send me an note and I ll get you there contact info. Tony
