Restoring America...1 machine at a time!

Well, just scored a Vendo 81-D from a guy up in Michigan for $300. It was painted all blue... even the glass door. It is missing the coin box and coin door but everything else seems to be there and complete. I thought it was a steal at that price. Anyone have a complete coin door and mechanism they would like to sell? It can be original or restored. Let me know!

Thanks, Jeff

I have a several restored coin mechanisms that are correct for the 81D and I probably have a coin entry bezel, but no door. I have a couple of handles as well.

Well this isn't my greatest find but its a darn good one. It was only 2 hours away away and just down the street from my grandpa so I stopped to visit grandpa. The owner had a late 70's vendorlator that had a bad condenser fan motor So I fixed that for him and he sold me the VMC 88 for $75. It is missing the inside rack and chrome bottle chute but luckily I just won an auction for a square top 88 and he is sending me the rack and bottle chute. Since the square top had a change giver coin mech it will pay itself off. Although the machine needs painted it is in great condition. It has a few dents but no rust that I can see at all. It also has the cap catcher and coin box.

Good score on the 81 and another great score on the 88. Those 88's always intrigued me. Neither of those machines were available in Canada so almost any machine intrigues me. LOL
