Electric V81 coin door and 5 vendo 63 shelvesstill needed.

[loman4ec]

I am still looking for an electric coin door for a large door vendo 81, 56, 110. It is not the same as the V83 and V80 as they are shallower than the 81.  If anyone has one they want to sell let me know. I will pay cash or I have a nice Vendo (Not VMC) bottle door and a very nice 29' Coke bottle thermometer sign I would trade.

Hey Josh, just saw your pm & this post.  I am not sure which part you need?  The electric coin door?  Is that just the plate that goes where the crank handle would have gone on a mechanical one?

Sorry, still learning!

Thank you for your message.
I need the whole door with the cover for the crank handle. There are two types of coin doors I would be interested in. One is the type that you had which is a mechanical door that had a plate on it to cover up the crank handle and the second is the coin door that was made for an electric mech. There was a door that never had the hole for the crank handle punched. Obviously this is the door I prefer but I will take either. let me know if you have one available.

I have a Transition 81 that I am converting to electric vend. All I still need is the coin door and a few shelves

I never knew or i should say noticed that they made a large coin door mech, without the cut out for the crank handle.  These were made for round top machines or square tops?

The doors were made for transitional machines - some had a crank handle and others did not.

Ahhhh, I get it now.  I dont have a complete door.  My V56 has the plate that covered the hole where the crank handle would have been. 

I do have that plate if you are interested??  I am converting mine to mechanical so I dont need it.

I do have a V-216 door but I am assuming its a different door altogether?

Tom so were the transitional machines for the late 50's or 60's ?

[collecture]

Yes - they transitioned between round tops and square tops and were in that timeframe.

I have also seen several round top 81s with the solid door on them. I have heard that they were given to bottlers to use on their round tops if they wanted to be able to raise the vend price higher than the mechanical mechs could do. They would supply a conversion kit for the stack and a wire harness along with a new front door so it could easily be converted to electric vend and then the same machines could be used into the late 60's and 70's.
