What's your most used/useful machine?

[red-hungarian]

Mine is my Westinghouse 10 case master - WD10. Great extra fridge. visibility is great with the wing top doors. Love that machine. Has style, built like a rock, The motors look original! Cools great.

If I had room for my Victor bar C31 (and it was back from restoration) it might give the 10 case a run for the money but you have to love chest coolers for versitility.

I got my DP VMC 110 on the back porch for outdoor summer parties.
V-81A in the gameroom for indoor parties.
But the machine that is on ALL the time is my WB60-K6-D Select-O-Matic in the garage. Set up with a pushbutton free-vend and stocked with Diet Coke and 7Up cans, long neck beers, bottled water - something for everyone!

Beleive it or not my most useful machine, other than being useful at taking up space, is my garage machine! It's a little Vendo 56-7C Square Top that is set for 10 cents with a cup of dimes on top.

Mine is a tossup between my USS-64 in the garage.... Beer, soda, water, more Beer... Its set on 10 cent with a buck on top of the machine...

My gameroom/basement has a V63 bottles machine that usually got beer, water, and Boylans sodas... This is on free vend just to make it easier at parties.

It does depend on the season for me though... in the summer, we spend more time upstairs, and the garage machine is used. In the colder times, we are downstairs, so the basement machine gets used.

My USS 64 is a great everyday machine.  I was lucky enough to find one in almost new condition (with very stylish woodgrain  ) and it vends and cools perfectly.  Also, at .35 a pop at least the kids have to pay me back for some of the money I spend for pop!

My Most USED machine during the warm months is my Glasco 50 Slider on the back porch, Minus the rack, I fill it full of Beer/Pop/Water and Juice boxes and use it as a reach in cooler all Summer long.
inside, I use one of my Vendo 81's or my 56... Currently My 56 is full of Beer and "self Bottled" pop for the kids... chilling for my New Years Eve Party!!!

The USS-8-48 that's sitting in the basement, since that's where the media room is.  Set for 25c vend, always stocked with beer or soda, cans or bottles.  That machine is always an eye catcher for folks when they visit...One of these days a round-top will be found to replace it, but I'm pretty happy with it now.

[Larry]

I personally use my Wurlitzer Princess whenever I am in the basement doing anything, work or play.  Got to have the music!!

The most used machine by other people would have to be my United ball bowler.  Young or old, it's everybody's favorite, then the Williams baseball. 

Vending machines, it would have to be my Cavalier CS-96 followed by my Popperette and Little Nut Hut.  They are definately used more than my other vending machines.  All are in the basement.  I just set up two Stoners and I'll see how they get used tomorrow for my Christmas Eve party.


HAPPY HOLIDAYS TOO ALL OF YOU!!

[GreginNM]

I would have to say my Westinghouse WD-10 as well, at least until the evaporator fan went out on it!  As soon as I get it fixed, it will be back in business holding the beer/soda to relieve the kitchen fridge.  We used to keep the DP Selectivend S-48 constantly stocked with Dr. Pepper vended for a dime until it got a split in the freon line and leaked out.  I'm trying to find someone here locally that can fix/recharge it for me.  I could probably put a splice in the line, but I'm not sure about replacing the dryer or recharging it.  I really want to find a nice Ideal 35 or 55 to use in my office for drinks, I think it would be a hit here!

Have pictures of a can stack in a 56 rt? I'd like to see that

[Creighton]

Nothing special. Just a can stack out of a ST-56. The vend linkage isn't hooked up so it is free vend but you can still put a dime in and push the handle.

A machine in the kitchen, Creighton!?!?!?   

Not sure I could get that past the War Department--but at least she lets me collect! 

[collecture]

Just a can stack out of a ST-56. The vend linkage isn't hooked up so it is free vend but you can still put a dime in and push the handle.

Is it possible to reconfigure a can stack for mechanical release? Anybody ever tried? Just wondering?

[lucasvendo39]

My vendo 39 gets the most use. My neices and nephews love to put 10 cents in and get an ice cold coke...... due to inflation I might have to raise my price.... wait a minute ... I usually supply the dimes to.... maybe not a good idea....

[Yarochrehc]

My Vendo 63 Coke machine for pop, and Vendo 63 Pepsi machine for the beer. Pop is set at 20 cents, beer is set for free vend.

[Marvin]

I have my Vedolater 33 and my Pepsi 81 along with a non working pinball machine in my kitchen. 
The 33 was in use until the Pepsi got done now I use it allt he time.  I was worried at first about using it, but got over that fear.

I also have a gas pump in my den.  The "war department" does not like any of it.  I told her "when she pays the mortgage each month she can rearrange however she wants."

I have two.  In the gameroom I have my Cavalier CS80 (cup of dimes on top).  My Vendo 63 is in the employee break room where my wife works.  I only go through about a case a month, but at 50 cents I still make about 25 cents a bottle, which helps with the gas on my pop road trip! 

[RC kid]

I would love to see pictures of the most used machines in there environment, IE back porch, living room ETC. Like they say, a picture says a thousand words. And most of us have them displayed very nicely.

Thanks

[Pat Pixley]

Well right now it is my Vendo 56  down stairs in the family room
later on it will be replced with a Pepsi La Crosse and the V56 will go out
on the patio or in the garage .

And yes I have felt under the stamp vender .

[sodaman]

I use my RC 81 because it is the nicest original machine I have and I can rely on it to vend and cool every time so I use it when I have family over for Thanksgiving and Christmas, although they don't know anything about the machine, they just know they can get ice cold glass bottles of pop from it and most of my little nieces and nephews have not had that experience.  Most popular selections:  Orange Crush, then Nugrape, then Big Red and finally Coke.  Of course I have bottles of RC in there too.
