Well I finally got time to snap a few un-cluttered pictures of my Nesbitts Orange, Vendorlator (VMC) VF117-D-SA transitional machine.  and so here they are...

It's the same overall dimentions  width & depth-wise as a VF90, it stands at 7 feet tall, the Plastic Nesbitts sign has a 3-d bottle cap ( often seen on LaCrosse Pepsi machines also) the words "vendorlator" at the lower right section of the front door are embossed
(which I wouldn't have expected)

The coinmech is a die-cast metal Coino FPB-9800 series (5 to 25 cents).

If you look closely at the bottledoor, you'll see it's really two VF56 glass-panels stacked together in a common frame. the trim is in great shape, althought the paints taken a beating , still you gotta luv all that Orange!

the compressor fired right up & it vends fine, although I hate to think that I'm going to have to drop the bottle gate out to lube it!) the VMC V117 stands tall* as a shinning apex to the glass-door/slant shelf bottle vendor in size alone!
 
* Pun intended!

overall it's a very nice, complete 100% original machine, in an uncommon flavor.

I like the look eventhough it's a little big.
If that was in a 56 size, you'd have something, especially in original condition!

My six cents,

It's like my Westinghouse WC102MD, it kinda grows on you! plus it really impresses "small-fry's" (little kids)



Hmmm a hack saw, mig welder, & away we go, one Nesbitts V56 coming up!

it was still easier to move than that bloody LaCrosse 90LLC!
