I finally got a weekend that I could work on this machine.  Many thanks to MoonDawg and Refrescofan1 for supplying some missing parts.  I got a 56 ST glass door to replace the solid door; got a 56 can rack put itside and set on free vend, and completed the coin door and covered the crank handle outlet.  Not finished yet but I like the way it is coming along and used many of this machine's parts for a one day restoration of a Vendo 56 RT.

Are their any 7-up decals out there that look like the old green bottles with the lady on them? If so that would look nice on the sides of your machine.

that looks great. It is good to know that the square top bottle door does fit. Now that is what I need to find.

Josh,
Actually, the full glass 56 square top bottle door (without the little emblem / decal divider in the middle) does not fit in the transitional machine. Arggghhh... It was too long by 1/8 of an inch or so.  Anyway, I lined it up with my RT 56 solid bottle door and cut off the excess with a hacksaw on the bottom part of the door...surprisingly, it only took about 10 minutes to do.  I then used some JB Weld to get the metal cover on the new door.  It aint pretty and it isn't permanent but it works for now...I didn't need to cut the plexiglass or regular glass either.

Creighton,
I can't remember the exact prices but Refrescofan talked to some guy who had 2 square top 56s from 200-350 range each. I no longer want to get parts machine because I end up not parting it out but wanting to make it complete again...so I search for another parts machine...laugh

Thanks for the info Vendobaldtops!! Chatting with Refrescofan on the parts. There was a very similar 7-Up transition machine on craigslist in San Jose West.
Thanks again!!

Was it an electric vend or manual? If it is manual it is really worth $600 just in parts. The cabnet is the same as a regular st56 unless it it is an 81. If it is an 81 the base is the same and can be welded in.

It was manual and embossed. It would take a fair amount of work to make it look nice and too cool to part out. Here is another machine for sale but it is the same guy. I'll call tomorrow and see if he still has the 7-up V-56.

Someone here ought to buy that pepsi 110. If I had the $$$ it would be mine. In the pic it is missing the coin mech but in the discription it says it is complete.

Im interested in the 110, I already have the 81 and 88 Pepsi might as well complete the set.

Well I think Terry should buy it.  His wife fell in love with Pete's Pepsi 110 after it was restored, and I think she has him on the lookout for one of her own.

$600.00 isnt a bad deal at all, If no one takes a stab at it I may but it will be a few weeks.

Just got off the horn with Danny. The 7-Up transition is sold but the 110 Pepsi is still available.
