I had one just like it once. Someone went crazy with a silver spray can on yours though. Unfortunatly this is the only pic I have on the one I had.

Here is a pic of a similar 56. Your machine should look exactly like this but taller.

so with working refridge, is it worth $80? Its my first machine, for a basement gameroom. I also want a project to restore for the summer. I've already restored two em pinball machines, so this can't be worse. BTW, how tall is it?

If Josh is correct, with a gallon of laquer thinner and a rag the front of that machine will clean up to look as blue as the inside of the front door.
The bottle stack on this machine can be modified and used for the round top 81's so it alone is more valuable than what you are paying for the entire machine. Go for it! |

The bottle door is also an Rt VMC 81 door. It is well worth the $80. The bottle mech alone is worth that.

Most machines are R-12. As far as dimensions go, if its a bit bigger than the 56, its probably close to 5 1/2 feet tall, 26"wide, and 23" deep.

Big "E",
If you've already restored (2) EM Pin's, this pop machine will be a cinch! I started in the opposite direction, Soda Pop Machine -> EM Pinballs (2, also).
The best thing about restoring/refurbishing a soda pop machine is this website and the people that use it! If you have any, I mean ANY problem with it along the way, just ask! Your machine is fairly common and a lot of folks here have restored them. Also, if you need parts for this machine you shouldn't have to hard of a time getting them either from folks here or Ebay.
Unforetunately Soda Jerk Works and Funtronics don't have a whole lot in the way of Vendorlator Square top stuff so most of the time it's easier to put out some feelers for parts here or get them from Ebay.
Welcome aboard! By the way, Are you former/Current Navy?
