They are rather collectible being that they are cross over models, the manual vend models are more desirable than the electric vends, but this machine is an embossed 7up ( lower front door) & appears to be complete,so that's a plus, but I can see (even with the fuzzy pictures provided) belt-line rust just above & along the bottom of the side ventilation louvers,so that's a big concern, but the surface rusting on the front door is actually very typical of this model ( especially when it sports white paint, such as 7up, Faygo, etc.) seems that the didn't have a good primer for white, so I'd say the $500 asking price is a bit out of bounds, it's basically a rather rough/rusty machine, I wouldn't go above $275/300 personally. (If it were a manual vend, maybe $400)

Spoon-feeding Newbies since 2001...  Yeah..220,221 whatever it takes. Remember, all it needs is a shot of Freon! The Vendo V-83 is the '59 Edsel of the coke machine world. ;p Spray painting does NOT restore a compressor 11 is louder than 10... "Hope" is good, but it's not an action plan. |

Thanks johnieG, the guy's "easy to restore" comment was kinda funny! At about half that price, do think there's a market for parting it out?

A transitional embossed 7Up, I'd try to save it, but then again I tried to save my 8 tracks and beta max player.

I'd transplant the embossed front door & internal parts that are in decent shape onto a better main chassis of a generic VMC 56 & that will turn it into a "transitional"....the external coindoor/main door is the only unique part on these models (as compared to later model VMC 56's)

I was just going to say what Johnnie did. Another difference on a regular V56 cabinet is there are no louvers on the side but I think that is a good thing. They are so hard to get perfect when restoring. I think its better to just do away with them. I have put the door of a transitional on a regular V56 body twice and it worked great. No troubles.

I'm going to go out Friday and check it out, offer a low price ($150) and see where it goes.
