Vendo 63 wanted ASAP

Wow. 1200? I like that benchmark!

Ok...Here's the deal...

I have been in contact with Moondawg's Vendo contact.  They are definitely interested in my restored Vendo 63 and are willing to pay me 2k for it (I know...an exorbitant amount for a square top, but when you gotta have it, you gotta have it!). I am in the process of getting quotes for it to be shipped via air from Detroit to Japan but Vendo balked at the air quote they got for $3500 from their own shipper. It must be in Japan by next week (Nov 11th show).  I am in the process of getting an air quote from my contacts.  Vendo wants my restored machine but doesn't want to pay almost double the price of the machine for shipping.  I understand that, but if you wait till the last minute you have to pay the big bucks for shipping.  So not a done deal, but a possibility.

I'll keep you posted when I hear back from Vendo management tomorrow (Deal or No Deal?).

Here's a couple pics of my 63 machine.

Good luck Bob!  Make sure to mark SMC Michigan Mafia somewhere inconspicuous inside of the machine with a Sharpie!

Thats a cool idea!

       Or do like Coke did! Right under the ID plate place a sticker
"For service call the SMC Michigan Mafia". I'm sure they could fly
one of you guys over there.

The pictures don't do it justice. In real life, it looks like  just off the assembly line.

I'm more suprised Vendo didn't have anything at their Corporate HQ or factory.
