I picked up this CVC 280 some time ago. I just plugged it in and the fan runs fine, but it sounds like the compressor may be stuck? It tries to cycle and Bogs down, then releases.
I see these a lot so it's probably not worth anything as a vendor, and it weighs a ton. If I scrap it, besides the front top logo sign and the coin mech, what else may be worth saving?

The light-up sign / marquee would look nice wired with an electrical cord & mounted on the wall, if it's in good shape. just a thought.

Remember, all it needs is a shot of Freon!
The Vendo V-83 is the '59 Edsel of the coke machine world. ;p
Spray painting does NOT restore a compressor

"Hope" is good, but it's not an action plan.

I had the same thought so the sign is was coming off. The coin mech is worth something as well. I haven't checked to see if it's a .75 mech or higher.
So fan motors and the thermostat it is. I may see if the helix motors come off easily. They could be the same for choice vends back to the 50's.
