Vendo 83

[zadd]

Is a vendo 83 round top worth buying and restoring . I ask this because it only vends the 6 oz bottles ?

There is a thread here from a few months ago that I started basically asking the same thing. I came across one for nothing that needed work, but was complete. The general consensus was that because of its size, weight, and limited vending capability, it was not considered a valuable machine for resale. Personally, I kinda liked the oddness of the machine and was going to restore the machine for myself. But hanging out with this crowd, I just acquired a better, old machine and have since ripped the V83 into pieces and am parting it out. If you do decide to go ahead with it, let me know if you need any parts. I will be listing on ebay very shortly, if not this weekend.

Yeah, most people here don't like them because of machine weight and that it vends just one size bottle and one flavor.
I own one and personally like it because it's honeycomb drum inside is so unique.
