Hello I found a vendo 44 that someone turned into a cooler. It is missing the coin door, rack etc. the guy actually covered the hole on the outside cabinet as well. I was wondering if it was a 5 or 10 cent machine. he has a 10 cent decal on it.Also any chance of finding parts? What would you guys offer. Otherwise it is in perfect shape. Its been painted, new insulation etc etc. Thanks for your help.

Coin door is reproduced, not sure about finding a coin mech or rack however... that could be the tricky part.
As far as if it was 5 or 10 cents, that all depends on what the mech was, as it could have been either..
what does the guy want for it?

The coin door, Coin mech, and bottle/can mech are all reproduced but are very pricey. The coin mech is made for dimes only and does not look original but works it costs like $375 I think. The vend mech is modified to work with bottles or cans and are really nice looking but pricey. In all it depends on what they are asking for it. A good complete machine is pretty pricey so if the cabinet is cheep you may be able to complete it for less than buying a complete machine.

Even if he gave it to you for free, if you wanted to make a complete coin operated vending machine, not just have a refrigerated cooler.. you would be better off to let him keep that 44 shell, and pay the $1500 to $2500 for a complete machine, especially if you are not familliar with finding all the parts.
<< Been there.........done that!

$550 for a 44 shell is not a good buy at all - there are better deals out there. Now $1600 for the machine Ken posted is a much better deal. Other than someone went paint happy - most of the machine looks complete.

Im going to try to jump on this. To me it does look complete though isnt it? Is the vmc just as popular as the regular vendo 44? Thanks for finding that guys.

Can't tell in the picture if the chrome bezels ( bottle slot,, conn door, coin return etc) are missing or painted over.
Replacements are readily available, and this looks like a better deal than that shell.
The 44's are so similar, I don't think price or desirability wise, there is much of a difference, and I wouldn't pass on either one.
The 44 only vends the 8 oz bottles, which is a turn off for a lot of people.
