Picked up a restored Vendo 39 from an estate sale this weekend.

Was not really looking for one, just could not pass it up. Due to its condition on the outside.

It was plugged in to show the compressor was working and cooling down the machine, but no key for the lock to look inside. All I could see threw the door was the 3 or 4 holes in the honey cone bottle rack.

So I will be placing an order online tonight for a Rockford VE859 key so I can see what's inside.

I read on soda-machine.com that there were 80,000 of them made, so I guess not the rarest. Looks like it's the older version with "Ice Cold" embossed along the bottom of the cabinet door and the cabinet has only two ventilation vents on either side.

Will post pics in a few days when I have the key, to see what it's like inside.

My Vendo VE859 key was delivered to the parcel pick yesterday, so I made a quick trip over to Michigan to pick up.

Key worked perfect and I was able to see what my new Vendo 39 was like inside.

Here are a few picks of the inside.

       Not only has everything been re-done perfectly, it appears that it has never been used since restoration.

       Nice find!  happydrinkers

Looks to be in fantastic shape and a nice restoration.
