Anyone know anything about this machine?Thanks!

[loman4ec]

Yes that is a Lyon 500. page 37 walters 3rd edition. Vendo 500 cups produced in the 1950's Rarity 5.0+. That is a heck of a find. I don't know much about value so someone correct me if I am wrong cup vendors don't seem to command as much as uprights. But that is a great find. Are you going to buy it?

[sodaworks]

All I can tell you is I want it!!! Is it for sell? I have a couple of other cup vendors that are complete and would love to have that one for my collection as well. PM me if you are looking to unload it. Thanks

Wow, never thought I'd live to ever see one of these.  What is the story on it?

[Skeleton Man]

Wow that's cool !  Is it just a syrup dispensor or does it mix the C02 and everything ?

Way Cool find! I haven't seen one in the "flesh" since I was a Kid, down in Detroits Old east side, the Ramona theater had one in it's lobby, me & my "rotten" little friends used to reach up & try to pull down an empty cup, then run to the manager & profess how the machine had "ripped us off" & he'd give us a "replacement" Coke, like I said we were devious little buggers!  '> This is one of the Rarer cup vendors, congrates!
