Yea, a V110 would be as big as most people will buy a "round-top"
Remember one of the top rules of soda machines, "bigger isn't better" big machines are neat if you're collecting, but as a re-sale item, they're slow to move, mainly because most folks don't have the room to put it into their basements...let alone get it down a flight of stairs. but it looks very nice I'll say!

Spoon-feeding Newbies since 2001...  Yeah..220,221 whatever it takes. Remember, all it needs is a shot of Freon! The Vendo V-83 is the '59 Edsel of the coke machine world. ;p Spray painting does NOT restore a compressor 11 is louder than 10... "Hope" is good, but it's not an action plan. |

If you want to replace the trim before selling try the plastic chrome trim. I would also list it on your local Craigslist.

Hey thanks guy's. Not to bad for my first machine, it was a lot of fun and a great conversation piece. Now I would like to go all out on a better machine.

This hobby is like an on & off addiction of sorts. When I started in the hobby I bought what ever looked cool and different. I ended up with a lot of machines that were big and without replacement parts. I hung around here where Jim as well as JG were really helpful when I first came here as for as repairing what I kept. One thing I have learned was that impulse buying has cost me a lot of money......I'm sure it has a lot of us. The flip side is that I have learned a lot from my mistakes. I love this hobby. To bad you don't have room to mothball this baby!

I'm new to this but I'd have to agree. It seems teh bigger a machine is the harder it is to sell. I watched a number on craigs, the paper, and ebay be listed time and time again. If you have the space for it you may be better off simply keeping it, maybe give it to a very good friend or relative as a present.
