Picked up a Vendo 80 and 23 at a moving sale....Did I get a deal...?

I have parted out 5-6 80s over the years and a rack has never no where come close to $500. The most I have ever sold one for with a working motor was $250.

I've sold 2 V80's over the past couple of years and i was surprised how many emails i received if I wanted to sell the rack alone. I answered no but was offered that more then once. Just did a quick completed auction search on e-bay and there are no racks for sale in the past 30 days. They are hard to find. Just for fun if someone here has one put it on e-bay to settle our score. My bet is it will get much closer to $500 then $250.

I put a plug on it tonight just to see what worked.....I have not put a new power cord back on it that goes from the power block to the compressor, so no testing it yet. The guy I bought it from said it didn't work, I hope he was wrong...From the looks of the cut off plug it's been years since it seen any power to it at all.

The sold out lever and the light work....The fan on the top unit works.  I could not get it to vend but I really didn't know what button or lever to push on the coin mechanisms to make it work anyway.  I'll set up a free vend switch and see if that works.

I set up the free vend button and the rollers move as they should....I'll have to dig out my case of old 6 1/2 oz bottles and fill it up to see if it will really vend.....Now I just got to get it to cool.
