Some of you may remember this 56 as a $25.00 meat smoker on ebay, well the smoke stack has been filled in, the coin door area cut out and a Vendo 80 recessed coin mech area welded in. The lower door was cut and used as a firebox door. The lower compartment where the compressor would normally go was used for the actual fire itself. All in all a very rough Vendo 56. Im building this machine for a local vending route thing and this is the first machine ive done the bodywork and painted myself. It turned out ok, It still looks better than when I brought it home.

Wow Joey That really looks good. What made you decide to indent the coin door area? Was the other damaged? Good luck with the vending route. I really think that will go over well.

Thanks guys, I decided to use the V80 coin door as not as much of a door will stick out. I already had The V80 with coin door and I didnt want to sacrifice a Large door with the crank handle hole. I'll post more pics as it goes together. Not show quality by any means but will be nice for outside main street.

Very nice save Joey,
I like the recessed look. Did the bent coin release line up ok with the electric mech?
Interesting project. Thanks for sharing!!

Looks great! Good work. That will be a great money maker once it is in business. How much are you going to charge for soda's? Just so you know HAPP sells bill mech housings on their website. you could mount it on the side of your machine and use a coin mech that works with a dollar mech so it can take dollars. the problem with selling soda out of these old machines is no one carries $1 or more in change in their pockets.

I too, like the look of the recessed door. The original coin door is the only
thing that detracts from the looks of the 56 (other than the solid bottle door).
Nice job Joey!

Looks great Joey! I remember that meat smoker!
If you ever wanted to put a V-39 or V-81 in use somewhere, I'm pretty sure I could rig up a mech that would vend on the dollar coin (Susan B. Anthony or Sacajawea). All I would need would be the mech out of the 25 or 50 cent Laundromat type coin changers (see pic below) and you'd have to widen the coin slot on the bezel just a little. I think the 50 cent might work best, but I don't have one to play with (coin or mech). My only real concern is that a quarter might still work with the quarter mech and a half dollar might still work with the 50 cent mech, but I think I could fiddle with the various adjustments a while and modify a piece or two to get it to work correctly.
I would think there would be some sort of bill changer out there that exchanges dollar coins for paper money.

Yes - short lived coins and you don't see them much in everyday use, but the stamp vending machine at local Post Office here uses them for change. The Susan B. Anthony dollar was so similar to the quarter in size and look too somewhat that most people did not like them. The Sacajawea dollar coin was easier to spot because is was gold in color, but again you don't see too many of them either. The Lincoln half dollar has been around since 1964 - I do not know for sure if they still mint it though. You do not see many of them anymore in everyday use too. Like Josh mentioned - people just do not carry around much change anymore - I don't unless we are going somewhere with the kids that I'll need quarters! |

Thanks for the compliments guys, a dollar bill acceptor will be fitted into my next machine, a Cavalier 96. It will be alot easier of a project. Where the 56 is going there is a small arcade there with a change giver.

Yes, the Kennedy half-dollars are still minted. The current dollar coins are the gold Presidential Dollars, with 4 presidents coming out each year (only the non-living presidents will be represented).
