This guy is advertising this as a "model 10 Vendo". From his description though, it sounds like a 6 case cooler. If that is in fact what it is, $375 doesn't sound too bad, although he states it needs restoration, so that could mean a number of things. Thoughts on this one? http://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/atq/2660178689.html |

Sounds like a 6CV to me and a good price (if decent shape).

What are the few major things to check to see if it's worth it or not? Besides the obvious, is the compressor system working?  |

So, here's a picture of this thing. They said the fan comes on, but the compressor does not. Also says it is complete. Needs a paintjob, but doesn't look all that bad otherwise....aside from not seeing inside that is. Does this sound like a common problem with compressor...as in simple, or probably needing a new compressor? Thoughts? Thanks.

One way to test would be to directly plug in the compressor and bypass everything. It should start getting cold, but don't run it too long!
Maybe the t-stat is turned off and the guy doesn't know to turn it on?
Rarely are these old systems not still cooling - less than 10% of the 50 or so I've owned are bad. Mainly one particular model of compressor.
Ken - I'll dig around for the mount. Not sure what the clips are, but I'll see if I can determine from the manual.

I agree with collector...they usually cool....more often than not, the thermostat is not turned down or something simple.

So sounds like something to not get too riled up over. If in fact the compressor is not working though, what do you suppose would be a reasonable offer on this machine based on its condition and all? Sorry to keep asking, but am thinking real serious about this one if it's still available by the time I make a decision. Have been in contact with them, so I think it still is. Thanks for the help.

The complete compressor/condensing unit from any old squaretop Vendo will work just fine in it. If in fact the compressor is not working though, what do you suppose would be a reasonable offer on this machine based on its condition and all? $375 |

I agree on 375 esp if the compressor does happen to be out a cooling system rebuild will cost you about 700
