garage sale find

[sodaworks]

Great Score Frank! But you still gotta haggle a little. Ha-Ha

[MoonDawg]

 It advertised that they had a Coke machine for sale.  Thats all it says "Coke machine", no picture or any other clues.  I'm thinking that at best it might be a V63 or V90. 

Could have been a huge 80's can machine, but it's our job to find out

I get there at 0800 and walked up the driveway.  ]

In my area, a half-dozen guys would be over there at 6:30 AM Consider yourself very lucky. I think everybody deserves at least one find of a lifetime

[MCarter]

Great Job!! Don't let Brian B find out about it !!! LOL LOL

[Pat Pixley]

WOW !! Frank what a find , I wish I had stuff like this just drop in my lap
 like this, and at a price like that .


 I've got to go with every one else on this, It's got to be the best find of the year
 to date.

Thanks for all of the responses.

I didn't even think about trying to talk her down,  I was concerned about getting to the bank
and someone walking up and starting a bidding war.

And yes, I learned a lesson about having cash on hand.  I just never expected it to be a 56.
I was just very lucky on this deal.

Ive been cleaning it up and it does have some dents I didn't notice.  You cant see it in the pics, but there is a depression/dent under coin door and a couple pry marks behind the coin door.

Again, I just wanted to pay and leave before someone else showed up.

I now have two 56's and this one is not as good as my first one.  I paid $1500 for one a few months ago, I posted about that one here.  I am going to sell this one to help defray that cost.

And a big THANKS to whoever posted about the $75 7up VMC 81 that was advertised at a garage sale on CL.  I'm serious, thats the biggest reason I went to this sale.  I work nights and usually in bed at 8:00 am.

WOW>.. just like everyone said.. Great find... Gotta have Cash on hand when going to these sales though!!!  I posted a month or so ago about the Vendo 81 at a garage sale that went for $75.00... but missed out on that one... the guy who now owns it has my number and maybe will sell in the future.?
Great find... I look at garage sale postings each day... and usually if they just say Coke Machine,,, yeah it could be anything but like someone said earlier... it's our JOB to find out. and usually if they don't have a model number listed, they don't know what they have and often enough can be picked up for a good price.. I recently bought a Cav 72 for $350.00 at a Garage sale... Already sold it for $1200.00!!! 
Great story! who's next???

I am going to sell this one to help defray that cost.

If your first 56 has a solid bottle door, I'd be switching it out for the glass bottle door before selling.

[Eric]

Yes! I agree swap the doors if the other's solid... this door is harder to find!

[Creighton]

Agree with Tom. Could you please post a couple of pictures of the back of the bottle door. I'm curious how the factory did the door liner. Also does it have two or three panes of glass/plexi ?
Thanks in advance!!

Looks like it has three panes, middle pane has a condensation hole at bottom.  Tapping on them makes me think they are plexi.

My other one also has glass door, but it has small crack at the bottom.  I will be changing out glass.  Thanks for the idea

Hope the pics are what you need
