Vendo 23 spin top

I bought purchased a Vendo 23 spin top,it has no drum. Does any one know where I can find one? or have one made?]

Are you missing the entire evaporator basket & honeycomb basket (drum) or just the inner  "drum"

I dont know if it's reproduced, but The inner "drum" which holds the bottles can be fabricated from 2-1/4" muffler piping cut to length & tack welded together.  I've had to fo this to replace damaged sections on other machines.

when I look inside I see where the canisters were mounted. Like little groves'

I think pictures would help at this point.

thanks johnie I will get a pick soon if I can figure how

I have seen several V 23s that had the bottle tubes removed.  Im assuming that they were corroded and the owner removed them.

Yeah, some people remove them in order to use the basket inside as a cooler to hold larger bottles (beer)
