I would like to say "Hello" from Ohio. I am a new member here, looks like alot of great people and info here. Thanks for the site!!
Here's my story:
My neighbor Don asked me if I was interested in his Vernors pop machine for 50-. It was sitting in his garage with his 57 Chevy. He is one of those guys that everything is nice at home. You could eat off his garage floor!
I went to take a look and it was a Vernors and I LOVE Vernors.
So I actually pushed it home 3 houses away. ( It is mounted on casters, how cool is that? ).
It had not been on for 5 years or so, but appears to work perfect and gets good and cold. Now it's mine!!!
I would like to know the actual value and year, also have a few questions regarding the machine.
It is a Vernors Vendolator.
Model VFA56K-A
Ser.# 408025144 height is 50 1/2 width is 25
Condition is nice, appears to have been kept inside most of it's life.
It is a dime machine. Some dimes work, others wont? '>? Nickels work every time.
It is missing 3 shelves (I think). The shelves are adjustable for size of bottle. Even works with the weird plastic pop bottles..
But I will use it mainly for...BEER.
What info do you have for me? Your time is greatly appreciated.
Can't get my pics to work??
Could I email them to someone( my pics ) to post for me?

Thanks guys for all the offers to post my pics.
Well.... what do you think?
Year, desirable or non, value, are there shelves available.
I think a glass door to view the bottles would be cool. Is something like that available?
Thanks again for any replies!
I may be hooked now......I will now be on the "look out"!  '>

Here's a shot of 90wreck on the road with his machine. Your wife should have gotten an "action" shot of you pushing it! (Good thing you don't live on a gravel road.)
I'll let some more of the gang pipe in about repro parts, but you can find the door and shelves as used - someone here may even have some extras.

Welcome! You definitely did not go wrong for $50! 1960's? I think the Vernors graphic is pretty cool. I would think a glass door would be a fairly easy switch. Can we get pics of the inside?
Where in Ohio are you? I grew up in the Youngstown area.

Kenton, Ohio.
There's only 2 things that come frome Kenton.....
Whores and football players.
BTW, my wife is from Kenton.....Want me to tell you what team she played on? LOL!
A sleepy little town. Football is it. Really.
I am a transplant from being a Nashville guitar picker to Kenton. My wife is an Attorney at Law following her Father and bothers foot steps here in Kenton.
Things could be worse..... I still play full time with national acts and my band regionally. I am out of town alot this time of year.  '>
3 little kids and I like them ALOT!
