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?

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

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!

Spoon-feeding Newbies since 2001...  Yeah..220,221 whatever it takes. Remember, all it needs is a shot of Freon! The Vendo V-83 is the '59 Edsel of the coke machine world. ;p Spray painting does NOT restore a compressor 11 is louder than 10... "Hope" is good, but it's not an action plan. |

Ok the top is fiberglass. If the tower above the cup holder is stainless steel as well as the corner guards (not shown in the book), when this machine is polished and plated and painted.....You're gonna' need shades

Tony,
Awesome find!
You do have this machine in your possession, right...?
If not, DO NOT LET THIS SLIP AWAY ! ! !
Looks to be in decent condition too!
As far as a value, I'd be guessing since these do not exchange hands frequently.

Tony ,I know your looking for some sort of a price
to put on this, Jeff Walters Book shows RARE . I would try
calling Steve Jebb Every time I talk to him , He just
overwhelms me with what he know or what he has owned.
And then there is Steve Ebner he also has been out
there and is a man full of knowledge . These Two guy's
would be my choice for an ideal of a price.
I will echo Jim Dont Let this slip away!!
This is one of those great finds.
Pat

I am going to take a look this week sometime and I'll take some photos(the inside),I hope everything is intact.Parts would probably be hard to come by for this machine.Think this would be comparable in value to a V81,etc:If I do end up buying this should I leave it the way it is or restore it?

Leave it the way it is! I have an unrestored complete and working V-81 ready to crate and ship your way. |

Lyon family seeking machine.
Hello, we are descendants of the Lyon family. Would some of you contact me to discuss acquiring one of these machines for our family?
Also, are there any museums where we could see Lyon machines?

Hello Tom,
Welcome aboard. Do you have a manual on the Glasco cup dispenser #G-400-U2. I have one that's complete but no manual, I also have a Colespa cup despenser complete but with no manual. Do you have one for it as well. Thanks Terry

All I have is a brochure on the machine (the Glasco G-400-U2.) Would be happy to send you a color copy of it if you would like it - would look great framed next to your machine!

I've met Tom a few times... Seems alright... Another Missouri Boy!
Between him and his dad they have a ton of great stuff!
Tom may have some great stuff he could contribute to the site. We need
info on dispensers in that area... If you're reading this...post some images in the gallery of your
stuff it's killer!.... and PM me about some of those roundtops! Or any Quikolds you may want to unload!
Glad you started piping in.
