Here's the Vendo 56 I picked up. I was really lucky in that I was the 1st one to respond to his Craiglist ad. In addition he never posted his location or phone number. I was the 1st one he called and gave him all my contact numbers. And then I waited and waited and then I saw someone else's previous post here that they were having thier wife run the money over to get the machine. I thought for a second that I had misread the seller and our 1/2 hour conversation was a waste. I really felt like he had let me down (I know I'm naive.) I cut out of work today at 3pm went over with the directions he gave me and sat on his porch in the scorching heat (To beat traffic, he lives one state over) for 2 hours. He pulled up and he turned out to be the gentleman I thought he was. He never bothered responding to the other Emails. I was one lucky sonofabeotch. The seller was one class act and I let him know that this was more valuable than what he was selling it for. I asked him what was wrong with the compressor. He said it had been sitting for 30 + years and it was 300 feet from the house. His uncle had left him the house and machine 20 years ago. He assumed because it was in the shed it was bad. The only thing missing was 1 rack. Drain tube & condensation pan....everything else there! Guess what, it works fine and with an old dime the coin mech works. This is a find I always read about but never get.......until today. And to the seller Mike, I owe you Bud!

Score one for the Midwest as Eric say's! The bottle door has dried up masking tape that's over 30 years old. Gotta get that off without damaging the paint. I'm going to try that soapy not toxic crap that you soak on car mldgs to get the adhesive off. We'll see.
