A 77 is wider. The easiest way I tell on the Vendolator of that era is the distance between the coin slot and the do not deposit coin lettering. The 56,63, 90 is right next to it while the 77,110,154 is a couple of inches away.

Wow, learned something new. The bottle door area is much different on the two machines. Still, it would be nice if you could display one of each.

Picked up my VMC77 on Saturday. Holy  '> this machine is bigger and heavier than expected. Toasted my $30 (200lb dolly) moving it around.
Bought it for $99. Seller was selling it as a busted machine. Figured I should be able to fix it or use for parts (this was when I thought it was a VMC56). Anyway, brought home, sprayed about 40 years of dust and dirt out of it and let it sit for about 18hrs. Plugged it in and it started up like a charm. When loaded it was cooling as low as 28F. Coin mech needs fixing or replacing so I hooked up my free vend switch (temporarily removed the Exact change window to mount the button). Had it on the back porch loaded with adult beverages and a single rack for the IBC Root Beer for the kids, in time for our party. Even dirty and scratched it was the hit of the party with kids and adults alike. Amzing how much fun everyone had pushing the button and pulling out a cold one.
Anyway -it's certainly not going to win any beauty contests but it should fix up nice and it was an unexpected surprise to be able to put it to work right out of the van.

Inside was relatively clean and good shape except for a ton of sand (like it was used on a beach??). Picture would have been more impressive if taken before (rather than after) the party.
--- Duh - wrong picture ---
