I saw that yesterday. I can't figure out how he thought "The machine has been completely dismantled and rebuilt from top to bottom." I thing he stopped somewhere along the way.

Yikes! the way they have the "new" compressor bolted directly to the base-plate without any rubber isolation mounts, the things going to rattle the heck when it's running! ... wow

also noteworthy are the deck is shown mounted in a machine with vertical louvers in the left background, the Jacobs has horizontal fins...Oops!

See red arrows in picture...

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.

It's only $3,995 and it's in "excellent restored condition"  Oo That's kinda misleading since its missing the drum...

The guy does state in one of the questions for seller that he forgot to put photo on of the drum.. wether the drum and internals where restored, and he just posted photos of it during restoration? not sure.. but if he is calling that inside door painted black restored, I'd be suspicious as well.

How does one put a whole auction together like that, for that price, and forget to take a picture of the machine without the insides put together?

It's like the alien on Men in Black that is inside the guys head. He just sits there when someone puts a nickel in he drops out a soda?
