Hello Everyone

this is the first time I have dipped into this section. Have found this on Ebay and wondered if anyone could enlighten me on the model etc.

Would not imagine there would be much by way of re-sale here in the UK so I'd need to convince the wife its a must have model.

Looks like a Vendo 77 to me. They are neet small machines.

Hi Josh

thanks for the model. Not much in the machine section on the V-77. Is it can or bottle?? What would you pay in the US for it??

That one is a bottle machine. They are really neet short fat machines. i would say it is worth $200 to $300 depending on completeness and if it works. The biggest thing is do you like it? There might not be a market there for square tops now but just wait. A few years ago there wasn't a market for them here either.

By the way it is not a 70's machine. According to Steve Ebners book it was made in 1963.

[davethebirdman]

Yep you're right.

Have e-mailed for more pictures and completeness etc. Nt sure if I like it or hate it. Having never seen anything like it for real hard to make my mind up.

Let's see how much he wants for it.

Thanks again

Oh Dave. this is nice and needs no work!  As the round top 81's 56's and 72's become harder to find and more expensive, the small light-up multi-vend machines will be the next first choice.

Thats a nice machine.

Well

Spoke to Mrs Bird (Her who must be obeyed) and she said "There's no........ way that's coming in this house."

But you never really know what Santa will deliver come the big day.

I'll let you know if he discloses his reserve and sends piccies of the insides. I am always a bit dubious when they say things like "Cord cut can't test." Even me with next to no technical knowledge could change a plug and use a circuit breaker to test the thing. I always read that as "Not working."

I had a Vendorlator77.  Liked it more than the 56 or Vendo 63.  Little extra room for longer bottles on the racks and precool.  More bottles in shelves and still very compact.
