I just picked in up near Birch Run, Michigan from a nice guy who lived on a farm. Bought some super fresh corn and veggies from his neighbor while there. Machine Tag is a Vendorlator VF-81R-SA. I'm very happy with it! Not technically a barn find (although it was in a barn when I picked it up), it was in his Dad's basement in Lapeer, Michigan for the last 30 years. Gets Ice cold, fan spins on...I need to go thru it and see if it vends, check out the coin mech, etc. Either way, I was buying it, no matter if there are any issues or not. Faygo decals are a little scratched up in a spot or two, and ould use replacing (I hear JohnieG has a line on some, so I'll be contacting him). Overall, very straight...however the coin box is slightly bent (along with the stainless trim on the door) from where someone pried into at one time in a 1 inch area. Barely noticeable. No key on coin door (Anyone have a key for a RT-471 or KT-471?...hard to read). Otherwise time to drill out the lock. Definitely fixable. Needs a light bulb/plastic cover plate for the bottle door (if anyone has one for sale, LMK). I'll post pics tomorrow after I unload it and clean it up a bit. I'll do some before and after. Thanks everyone!

Nice Score Bob! Growing up in Michigan you realize that Vernors is an awesome drink! Too bad most people in this country have no clue what it is! Great looking machine! Brian  |

Vernor's, Faygo, Atlas, Canada Dry and Towne Club. and Tico.
Yah, if you didn't group up in Michigan, or nearby, you missed out on some awesome local brews (Soda. Stroh's, was not so much awesome )
