How hard is it to find parts for a Vendo 63 machine? I have a chance to buy one, but not sure to do it or not.

Most any part you need can be found. Global Compressors, an advertiser on this site, sells new and refurb air conditioning units. Fan motors can be purchased locally at refrigeration supply stores. And seals can be gotten through a couple of advertisers here. Coin changers too. Not to mention there are several posters on this thread that sell parts that they have from their machines. I just got a V-63 also (see Paul's Project 63 thread) and have not had any problems finding what I need.
Just make sure that if it is not operational now that the price of the machine reflects this. If it needs a new ac unit that will be ~$200. If this is your first its probably best to get a machine that works. I think you'll enjoy it more.
Regards,
Paul

I 'm not sure I'll buy it. Got a call in from the guy and he told me it had been burglarized last year and was pretty beat up, Broken door sign, front door panel pried open to get to the coin mechanism, large dent in the front. It has sat in his front yard since then. Out in the elements
Couldnt understand why it was done like this everyone who had ever know him knew it was unpluged and sitting idle for years, not in use. Being it was passed on to him from someone else.

True. Vintage Coke machine abuse is very sad.

Went over and took a look at the machine. It does need work. Brought it home. He told me to bring it back to him if it turned out to be too much.
The door is the main problem (the panel door to the coin mech). Some bends in places on the edges and yes a big dent below the glass panel. Really not sure what I'll find later inside. Lock was pried. No key, need to remove that. Missing the Bezel?? around the bottle opener.
Can the door panel be replaced? It's wood grain. I have friends that have a sheet metal business and a long time electrician friend from high school.
So I think I'll give it a try atleast I can get it going and put it out by the pool for my teens to enjoy.
Atleast I can get some OJT out of it. Maybe one day move on to another better machine. Really like the looks of the 63's and 56's by Vendo.

Those holes were put there by more than just shotgun pellets.
I have a Vendo 63 for parts
