Just thought I would get some opinions out there about my Vendo 39. It is the nicest origianl machine I own. I was going to restore it but now I have second thoughts. Any ideas? I have plenty of other stuff I could work on. My Seeburg HF100R is more difficult then I thought it would be.

From the looks of it in the pics, I would vote to leave it as it is. I don't see anything that warrants restoration. It looks great

Leave it... Looks like it would be hard to improve?

I vote to leave it as is - it is only original once and will only increase in value.

WOW!
That looks like it was hardly ever used. There is one thing about an original that good, the're hard to perfect.
Nice machine.

Brian,
I'm coming in a little late but from the looks of the interior photo, this machine has seen very little use. I can't believe the bottom tray of the liner; it looks flawless! You're sure this machine hasn't been worked on...?
You have already made your decision, but I thought I would still repeat what others have suggested. Keep it original! With a little TLC, elbow grease and some good chemicals, you wouldn't believe how much you could make this shine like new!
Good luck with it!

Hey
Load that puppy with short 8 oz beer bottles ( Corona, Bud, Bud light).
Then you could pull a mystery beer each time.
Luck of the draw.
Leave it & use it.

Thanks for the ideas. What is the most effective chemical to clean it with without damaging the paint? Please let me know if you have any ideas.
ps I will be loading it with some 8 oz beer this weekend. Great idea. Does anyone know what types of small beers will fit into the drum?'>

A soft rag and "car wash in a bottle" for cleaning and then "polishing compound" followed by a good quaility car wax works well for me.

Talking about V-39's saw this toady on Ebay UK.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Coca-Co....iewItem
I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it will reach big money. If it does I may decide to part with one of mine.
The seller claims its restored. I wouldn't be happy calling it that. What exactly counts as a restoration???

Dave, not only has that machine not been restored........it hasn't even been painted except for maybe a little silver with a spray can inside. Misleading description

Glen - You are absolutely right. If I were to bid on a RESTORED anything I would be expecting the sort of thing that Terry described above. Restored Mint Fantastic condition & Rare. These words are banded around all the time and hardly ever is this the correct word to desribe what you end up with. Perhaps I set my expectations too high.
