Here's a Vendo 83 that looks like is in really good shape.  Reasonable price maybe?  Thought I'd post in case anyone was interested or might be in OKC area and can take a look at it.

Looks to be in nice shape, but way overpriced.

What's the going price on these?  Around $1200-1500 for one in this condition?

I guy in North Scottsdale just bought a mint original Vendo 83 (with original key) for $500.  Seller was asking $700.

Vendo 83s are cool machines, but rather large. Most people don't even consider them when purchasing an old soda machine. I would expect to pay $800.00 for one in this condition in my neck of the woods.  $500.00 and I would pick it up to resale later.

But I also have a tendency to pay to much for my machines.

Yeah Bob - I've been in touch with Darin.
He is missing the drum, vend mechanism and other interior parts. It is nice looking, but....
Strange too - he has a Westinghouse cooling system in it. I've never run across a Vendo or other make of machine (other than Westinghouse machines) with a Westinghouse cooling system installed.

So it's not a mint original? Not even close if it's missing all that.

Tom...I guess there are 3 sides to every story...His side, her side, and the truth!  Thanks for answering Darin's questions...

He said it was complete and original...even had the original key. I never saw pics of the inside...just the craigslist post of the outside.

I couldn't give away an 83.. I saved it from the scrap yard.. Its actually the machine that got me to find this place and start this obsessionhobby. I did part it out and made a few bucks with the drum and other pieces, but not a very desirable machine. It only fits the small bottles and it holds a whole boatload of them.

I'll let him know. Can you PM me your asking price (or your email if you don't mind me putting him in touch with you).

Here is a pic of his inside...as you can see he has nothing!
