Could someone please help me I.D. this machine ?   Maybe even throw me an estimated value for a working machine like this one...thanks!

Its a VMC 117 transitional machine. These were made when they were changing from round tops to square tops. I am not sure on price. I would say not much since this is electric vend and really huge

Were any of these beasts embossed?  Might help what value it could have...

I don't know about the 117's but most 56's and 81 7up transitionals I have seen are embossed.

Thanks for the info - you all are always very helpful...they aren't asking much for it and they claim it works. 

I thought it was neat looking - thought about getting it as an investment...but if it's not a favorable machine then I won't bother.  Thanks again.
