Hey Guys, Need some help with this one. Please take a look at the following link and let me know if you can figure out which machine the white one is...and is it worth looking into for possible purchase to restore and resell? I suppose once the model is determined, then the collectibility and restoration can then be decided. I look forward to seeing what you come up with. As always, thanks!!

The square top is a Vendo 126. The other is a Selectivend S96. Both are not great machines. Both are very big and heavy and have very little value. Even if the selectivend is a S47 and just looks like the bigger 96 it still is quite a dog. The selectivend is a small bottle only and single flavor. Its not very collectable. Both of them if restored you will have a VERY hard time selling them for anything close to what you have in them. If you like them then that is the biggest thing but f buying to restore and sell I would find a better machine.

and keep in mind parts if needed can be difficult to find on these off models.

Yep the SV is somewhat hard but the 126 is actually two V63's on top of each other and most of the 63 parts will fit.

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. |

So from what you guys are saying, neither of these are really worth much because of their size, etc. So guessing also that even with its size, it's not all that rare to make it collectible that way either. Where did you get pics to compare to determine the model? That model is not listed on SMC's info. Experience I suppose, right?  I appreciate the assistance and advice on this machine. For $60, I might have fallen for the machine to restore only to find out I'd be pouring money into a hole. |

That Selectivend is worth $60 in parts, particularly the coin mech. slug rejector and crank handle. I believe it may even have the nickle tube so it will give change for a dime.

I really thought that almost any machine from the 50's would have been collectable and worth some money, but guess is not the case these days. Thanks again for keeping me out of trouble with that one!!!

Any collector will tell you "old" doesn't' always mean desirable or valuable, and restored/repaired won't always increase the value.
