A Unique Vendo 110 / Hamms

[Slapshot42]

I bought this in early June.  It' s a Vendo 110.  The owner had it for 34 years, it came with everything, and works, and cools great.  Before he owned it was inside a fire department in Seattle, WA.  The owner stated he had it inside the entire time it was used.

The only issue I had with it from the get go was the coin mech.  At one point somebody and altered it to work on .25 cents.  I could never get it work on with any money.  I had a friend of mine convert it to free play.

I think this think has a one of kind paint job....

Paid $500.00 for it.  It would of been a 12 hour drive but I had a friend down in the area.  So I had it delivered to my house for the price of the gas one way. Can't beat that!

Well, it is unique I'll give ya that..... any plans with the machine?  Gonna keepit the way it is, or restore it back to its Coke glory?
Nice machine either way.....
The Vendo 110 is my next conquest.... Large door like yours (but 2 tone Coke lol)
COngrats, and enjoy!

Very unique indeed ! ! !

I'm actually looking for a nice original V-110 for a friend...
Headed to look at one next Sat...

So Jim on the subject... why do I get the feeling that the V-110 is not very desirable?  There was another thread going on this subject early in the week.  " Value of a 110"

A lot of collectors/people think that the 110 is too big of a machine. I personally don't think it's a terrible size. It's not terribly tall, can vend a good amount of beverage as well as bottle sizes but still retains the round top look of sorts.

Just my two cents.

I love the 110's. Great machines and still affordable.

By the way. I like the Hamm's theme on this one. I'm not sure I would change it.

[collecture]

If it were a generic machine, then I'd be more accepting of the theme; however, seeing the embossed Coca Cola logo peeking through ruins it for me.
IMO - Take it back to it's former glory!
I'd get some pics and measurements of the Hamm's decals - would make a great theme machine (from a generic though)!

The 110 is my next conquest!  I also think that they get a bad rap for being too big.... I have a Cav.51 and its shorter and narower than that machine.... just the 110 is wider.... so what?  Would I leave the wife if she got wider?

[RC kid]

I didn't notice the embossing showing through. Still a great find and it will look good restored to its original condition.

  Would I leave the wife if she got wider?

So...How long do we have to wait for the answer?
