Vendo 63 white 7-up machine

[shellynne]

I've found what looks to be a Vendo 63 in 7-Up colors.  I can get it for probably $50 ... maybe $75.  It hasn't been run in years as the plug's missing.

What do you all think?  It's only about an hour away from me.

If it cools I'd say $50 - $75 is a bargain.. not sure on value if it doesn't..

[bubba]

Its worth more than $50 in parts if it doesn't cool. Definately grab it for anything under $100. It looks like the coin changer is missing...

Sounds like a good deal to me!

Is that some Pepsi Blue I see on the front above the bottle door?

[shellynne]

I saw the blue, but I'm also seeing some Coca Cola red in the door, too.  Not sure.  I'll know more after Monday, I think.

I think I'm going to go for it.  Oy.  If I keep this up, I won't be able to park my car in my garage.

Is it common for a coke machine to be repainted/rebranded as pepsi ? there is red paint under the pepsi blue on my cornelius and I have my suspicions that's what they did (though they would've had to replace the plexi-glass sign so I dunno).

I would go for it with that Vendo 63..  if I ever get my machine sold I'll be on the lookout for a V63 myself..

Coin mechs are pretty cheap on ebay for your basic 9800A/B.

At 50.00 you can't go wrong...the bottle rack is worth that.

It happened all the time. Usually a sign was screwed over the embossing on the 1950's round top's and, in the later square tops, they could simply replace the sign with their own brand.

My Cavalier that is at the painters now was a Coke, a Pepsi and then a Coke again.   On mine they did a crappy job painting each time. Plus the Coke sticker they put on the last time was too large for the machine!  '>
