There are a couple of these close to home. what is the going price for one of these. Is $700-$900 out of line. I would be able to pick up. Found a Vendo 81 7 months ago for $0 and I have the fever. Steve

The 39 is my first machine, so I am a bit biased when it comes to opinions on them. Keep in mind it will only vend the small ( now 8 oz coke bottles) and only one flavor at a time. For some people this is a negative, but hey, you have an 81. To me nothing says 1950's like a V39
The machine looks very clean and straight. I'm assuming the splotches near the bottom is dirt, and not a sign of bigger issues. It has the coin mech, the drum, even the bottle cap catcher and coin box, and the inside lables look to be all intact. If it were closer, I'd jump on it in a hearbeat.

Thanks for your quick response, also there is another Vendo 39 #180501417807 up for auction in Ind.4 hrs from where I live. This has a reserve of $950. Which is the better machine in your opinion Steve

The original one that you posted about looks like the cleaner unit of the two. It is also complete even down to the ventilation cover on the back of the machine. That part is usually missing. That second one has a lot of rust in the bottom of the tub so you could have a problem there. A V-39 was my second machine and I like the machine even though it has some limitations. Of couse, as Tom pointed out you can always buy the repop drum that will allow you to vend 12oz. bottles. Those are both getting at the high end of what I would pay as I have seen others locally for less. Still of the two--I would go after the first one! Tim
