     The only difference is the chrome coin entry plate on the Vendo and for this reason only it is MUCH more sought after than it's twin sister the VMC 44.
      I have always wondered why the parts guys don't try and reproduce a similar bezel that would brighten up the VMC.

Coin mechs are different as well. The V-44 liner is plastic and the VMC-44 liner is stamped out of metal. The rear shaft on the VMC-44 mech is longer than the V-44 mech because they could mold the plastic deeper than they could stamp the metal.

Good info Tom , I too never knew the liner differences and coin mech... but then again have never had a VMC one?...

thanks for sharing.

boy, I feel like I learned something today!  biggrin

The VMC-88 mech is the same as the VMC-44 mech for the same reason - metal liner.
