Picked up another VMC56 on eBaY. Depending on what it takes to get it working could be a steal. If not it's a parts machine.
Also have a bid on one of those fancy Dr Pepper machine (a Vendo 56 or 63 I think).
It could be a busy summer...

Bryan, GREAT find! It looks to be in EXCELLENT shape and has the cool 3D sign. Looks almost identical to the one I had but traded away a while ago. What a great bargain you found for just $99!

Hey Bryan, you're not going to part out that Pepsi, we won't let you. Both problems are minor. Nice find. When relacing that plexiglass, hope you don't use the original block letter pepsi script. Pepsi Cola logo would be nice.
The Dr.Pepper machine is awseome !!!!! Thought this machine was discussed here earlier, a "Queen Anne"? Hope someone doen't snipe it from you.
Both your machines have legs. So rare  '>

Glen - the sign won't be a problem. I'm more concerned about why it stopped cooling. If it's just the fan then I have a great deal.... if the fan stopped then the compressor died not so good.
PS - as I said it's a twin. My first machine (pic posted below) which is still not finished was identical (always been a fan of nice legs  '> ).
Good memory on the QueenAnn. I couldn't remember what it was called. This will be the third one that I've bid on. Hopefully it's three times lucky.

Glen - just noticed your comment on the block lettering vs logo. The sign background is the 3d cap (like the one on my first machine). But I do like the idea not to use the block letters. The letters on the sign are on the front plexiglass sheet,,, so instead of block letters how about the script double-dot.

Well the Dr Pepper Queen Anne has about 12 hours left on the auction. It's at $355 right now. I want the machine but am now wondering what it is worth. Any thoughts?

bump - 15 mins left any idea if it's worth > $450. Seems like a lot for a V63.

Well I bid $425 but lost to someone willing to go to $430. So it's after the fact... still be interested in whether or not that was a good one to win, or if I should be happy that I lost.

The pepsi you just won isn't a 56 it is a 77.

Josh - it looks almost identical to my VMC56 (legs, chrome trim, red paint, size, grate). How do you tell that it's a 77?
