What is this?

[BONOVOX]

Wondering if anyone knows what this is?

There is no description in their ad as to what it is, just that it's a Vendo base.

Any ideas?

Looks like the bottom  of a Cav 124.

Why and what for still  can't figure out

I just can't figure out how there is a solid top to what I think is the bottom 1/4 of a machine.  Do you think someone turned a machine into a coffee table?
In doing so, they welded a plate to the top, as it's not "open"

I've sent the seller an email but I have yet to get a reply...

        With a little modification it could be a beautiful sandblast cabinet.

Very strange.. of all the parts to keep and restore? why this part?

I bet it's worth at least $5000-$6000!

I wonder if that Crush thermometer is mounted to the top or just lying there.  It looks like it is attached the way it is lined up.  Must be a high dollar interpretive piece. lol

Cat house or TV stand or a combination. 

Whats the price ?

He's asking 100.00

Looks like he's updated his ad (it's in French) but I can make it out;

"It's a base of a Vendo Coke Machine and would make a good TV stand." so the AD says

Here is the ad if anyone here needs a TV stand lol
