Check out this ugly machine i just bought

[loman4ec]

I just got home from picking up this Vendo 56 decorator door. This thing is so ugly it is neat. I was just going to part it out since it has all but two shelves and a working cooling system, but I am thinking about doing something with it. It is in great shape but the plastic wood looking pannel on the front is cracked and distorted. It is just a pannel that slides into the frame of the front door. I was possibly thinking that a piece of diamond plate on the front and paint it orange and slap some Harley decals on it and put it on ebay. What does everyone think. I want your ideas.

Soooooo 1970's!

But yes, I think that is a fantastic idea and would probably capture a great price.

Does this thing take money or free vend? Pretty strange looking.   Does it have a door over the bottle pull area?

If you part out I would like the bazel from around the bottle opener.

It does take money. If you look just below the bottle stack there is a coin slot. There isn't a bottle door. The front woodgrain door has a magnet seal all the way around it and when you open that you just put the money in and pull the bottle out. Here is a pic of the inside.

Kevin, is this the bezel you are looking for?


If so, it is available on eBay right now with a Buy It Now price of just $6.99

Kevin I just went out and looked and there is no bezel. It is just a raised lip like the vendo 56. It looks like chrome in the pic but that is just the flash.

Another question. This is for everyone with a vendo 56 that vends cans. DO the can stacks also allow bottles to vend? Long necks are too big to fit in the hole so I am wondering if the small bottles will fit. I was hoping that it would vend long necks because it would make it more marketable to the harly crowd. This machine is really clean. I eish it was a more collectable machine. This thing is rust free.

What about a plexi-glass front from a new soda machine now with the Coke bottle in ice graphics cut down to fit.
Do you know a vinyl sign guy? Maybe some sort of Coke
Fishtail logo with a can or bottle?........

I thought about that but I don't think it would resell that well as Coke being that it wouldn't be origional. I know that the Harley and beer items go for big bucks on ebay. What do you think. I really don't know what to do with it. If it was a rust bucket it would be easy to throw away but it is in such great shape. I only bought it for $50 so it isn't like I am out any big money.

True...
 Harley or NASCAR would be cool.... Even a Beer Brand...
