I'm hoping someone can help me value this coke machine.  I haven't been able to find out anything about this particular model.

Vendorlator Model VMCA-340, Serial #A-3402A836.
It's similar to the VMC 139 & VMC 149, utilizing a carousel vending mechanism, and is automatic - without the handle on the door.  With "Dring Coca-Cola in Bottles" embossed in the metal of full-length front door.

Larger than the 139 & 149, measuring 78"h x 30"w x 30 1/4"d.

It's in pretty rough shape - needing restoration - but I think it has all its parts.  Seems it is definately restorable.  [...course, just about anything is, eh?]

If someone could help me identify its approximate value I would certainly appreciate it.  Is it as common as the 139 & 149?  Does the fact that it's automatic make it less common?  Would love any feedback!  Thanks very much.

I've already tried to put a picture w/this post, but it didn't work.

Thanks ltransom - appreciate the response!
But hey, she ain't Heavy~She's my B.... [nah,]

Well 4.25 out of 5 ain't bad.  But I'd sure like to know if mine is
"average condition" - or not, I rather think.  Just cause the paint is all faded, aNd it has a ding in the door.  Wish I could get this to take my
photo.

Do ya'll think eBay is the Best/Worst place to try and sell it?
