My next pursuit---vendo 39?

[Jim]

The recent photo posted appears to be a Vendo V-59

For clarification, the Vendo 39 Standard and Vendo V-39 are drastically different machines as you can see when reviewing the links.
Hopefully helpful...

Plus they make great donor machines for a Cav 72. 
 

Good thing I  wasn't drinking at the time. My monitor would have shorted out

I picked up an early model V-39 for $550 last year on local Craigslist.  Was repainted long ago with only a so-so job at best, but it cools, has minimal rust issues and looks good from a distance.  Have since added the crank handle and it makes a nice conversation piece in my office.  I like the looks of the 39 a lot but probably would never restore it as the payback wouldn't be there.  I think they are the ideal first machine - reasonable price, roundtop appeal, and cool large letter embossing.  With a bit of patince you can find one.

I agree.  The Vendo 39 is a great first piece while on  your journey to the "round top" world.

Thanks for all the good advice and thoughts.

As stated before, this forum is absolutely the best.

I would hold out, he'll come down on price as there won't be many people willing to shell out a grand for a machine in that shape.   I'd offer $700 at most if you are looking to restore it.
